Secrets of the Past

Buried in a treasure chest, depths below the sea, memories hidden away

A sail of a million years ago, the secrets of the past, the lover's notes of a maiden

The mermaid who swam the coldest waters, and turned them into pools of passion

Of longing for the rarest pearl, daring to take it from the oysters mouth, finding the ship

That lay at the bottom of the dreaded death of darkness, the pirates sword would swing

From the whales of troubled waters, where he would lay me down, the bridge I burnt a thousand times

Now only secrets of the past, casting out my bare soul, the gentle of your skin so divine

I have written on these tablets, scrolled them one hundred plus years ago

Time just passes so very quickly, when you are torn to give your very soul, to the one you love ten thousand times

Over, and over, and over, I will make love to you, and each and every time, you will remember, these troubled waters of our past

Will be here forever, lasting, lasting, ever so long, until you can no longer count the times
