A vast chasm lies
Beneath the Tasman Sea
Five thousand more
Yards deep

So too, the lover
Defender of truth
Bathe unseasonally
Still waters

While gargantuan 
Creatures long to graze
Upon tawny flesh
Deliciously

So well, dream of all
Paradisic lands end
Where lone journey
Supposed meets our need

When really -
Chill of waves barely
Metered by sun's rays
So is love's gaze
Upon bedrock of reason
