The Depths of Love - by Rhumour

The great power of love is not in the mind
But deep in our hearts which can ache muchly sometimes
The passions we feel are beyond thought to control
Some say it is our hormones, some say it's the soul

But to live life in the shallows without loves warm glow
Is to be beached like a whale with nowhere to go
The depths may bring some sorrows and pain on the way
But we all get the bends if we rise too fast from our play

Linger down in the middle of waters so deep,
Let the light of the sun keep you safe from those who seek
To act like the sharks who tear all life apart
Be true to each other with warmth in your heart

Aglow in the deepest water lie perils for us
Sharp toothed in the shadows with baits luminous
Such is the same with all of those game players
Whose guilded promises shine but soon betray us

With eyes open wide we can offer ourselves
No need to stay hidden in spike armed shells
For trust all your senses in the full light of day
Stay away from shadowy places where predators do prey
