Atlantis

i lie in bed
 beside him
 and i know him
 outside in
 i've learned his body's
 line and length
 and memorized his grin
 i've counted
 every crease
 at the edges
 of his eyes
 i know his soul's
 complete circumference
 i know
 his lies
 i know
 his outer qualities
 i know
 his inner doubt
 as i know the skin
 underneath his shirt
 i know
 what he's about
 i lie in bed
 beside him
 and unravel him
 like twine
 i know his depths his drives
 his drawbacks
 as he
 knows mine
 i heard they found
 the lost atlantis
 off the spanish coast
 with a host
 of hidden secrets
 buried signs and symbols
 green and guarded gold
 and ghosts
 i listen
 to his breathing
 and familiar
 tho' he seems
 his sleeping self
 has wandered
 to the regions of his dreams
 while
 off the coast of spain
 the moorish moonlight beams
 and deep
 in guarded spanish waters
 the green gold
 gleams...
 i lie in bed beside him
 and i ask him
 will you go?
 he says i swear
 i'll never leave you
 i say
 i know...
