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's our hormones, some say it's the soul.

To only live 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,
yet we all get the bends when 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 that 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 do lie perils for us.
sharp toothed in the shadows with baits luminous,
such is the same with all those game players,
whose guilded promises shine, but would soon betray us.

With eyes open wide we can offer ourselves,
no need to stay hidden in spike armoured shells,
so trust all your senses in the full light of day,
and stay clear of shadowed places where predators prey...
