A Quest Poem by Nathan Barkley

Inside of me something was growing
Aching and burning yet i was blissfully drowning and yearning
What was this emotion my face and actions was showing?
Just with that simple 'hi'
I felt I was falling so fast into the sky
the beach is where I hide
yet the vast blue sea are too similar to your eyes
Within them were untold stories and priceless gems
I wish I could swim in them
Going deeper and deeper
Forgetting about the pressure
My desire, my curiosity can not be measured
I would swim, even in the darkness
I would light it up with this new found, dare I say... Happiness
Something was drawing my in
Even though I knew that never seen monsters were within
I pressed forward, never looking back
I was ready to attack
I fought and fought to see
that something that entranced me
I felt a warm, soft, glow radiating from a beautiful chest
What is it? No i cant stop and rest
Returning to the surface with it
What is this, i wanted to protect it but with this i wasn't content
I must open it!
Yet I have no key
My soul was looking for an answer
It seemed that only a heavenly response was the solution
Laid there in the sand pondering, I heard a 'hi'
What a beautiful voice
I can not lie
I had no choice
I had to smile
I looked up and there she was
Standing there flawless and to my surprise
she pressed her lips on to mine's
Leaving me breathless and weak
The chest open and I couldn't believe
It was a heart, which belong to her the queen of the sea
