The Abyss Poem by Charles McMullen

I wait in the cavern beneath the falls,
Whilst you are locked up between the walls.
My mind is skating o’er the top,
But sure ‘tis a very long way to drop.
The rocks are beckoning at my feet.
But they’ll not see me there - for you’re my sweet.
My mind floats o’er the calm water above,
To feel the steadiness of our love.
You wait in your alcove for me to see,
And we’ll meet again full of transient glee.
Whilst nature goes on all around,
We’ll keep our feet firmly on the ground.
The yo yo of life will ne’er stop,
Our love will last an eternity - not a flop.
