Beneath the seas
No loneliness is known
Rain never falls
Seldom a cloudy day.
I was diving for perils
far off the coast
trying to stay clear
of the nuclear submarines
and tourists looking
for love and treasures.
In the distance I
saw the Titanic
sleeping on
the ocean floor.
I saw her swimming
across the upper deck
she was on that maiden
voyage too long ago
She took me to her
cabin - An oasis in the sea
We danced a decade
away
as the fish and memories
swam by
She told me how she
had waited
for so long to be
discovered
I said, "me too"
as I swam out the door
and returned to the
land I never once believed
Some day I will return
to the Titanic and her
But until then I can
only stare at her smile
that constantly beckons
me to return
and keeps me from
having the women I meet
at single bars and
barmitzvah parties
knowing beneath the
sea she waits for me
with Bacchanalian
pleasure for evermore.
