Atlantis

By Recycled


Come with me to Atlantis
Where we can play with Neptune's children
Surf the tides with mermaids
Ride on the back of sea horses

The ruins of Atlantis shall be our playground
A place to invoke the Kraken's wrath
Stir the bones of the pirate dead
Splash the Sirens on dead man's rock

We can place starfish in our hair
Duel using swordfish
Race around the reef on manta rays
Build coral castles amongst the pillars

We'll read the tomes of Dead Sea scrolls
Tickle oysters 'til they reveal their pearls
We can tug Poseidon's beard
Weave among the tines of his trident

Under the lost archways of Atlantis
We can kiss
Exchange saline pleasure
Dwell for eternity under the brine

    When I was little, I believed in mermaids and always wanted to see Poseidon's palace...such a warm fantasy and it gives me the same innocent child like images I created when I was younger. I love it *~seraph~*

  • A former member wrote: This is such a tempting fantasy...that's exactly how I had pictured things. I re-read it over and over, picturing it in my mind...I'll keep coming back to this one.
