Mariana

Dear Mariana,

I wear a broken thirst to witness

Creatures of living light caress

My dreams of you in the endless

Mariana Trench darkness

Mariana, those who trespass your cold bosom

Are pressured to live and tell

Why their hunger pangs are fed

By the depths of your beautiful hell

My Mariana, I confess

I keep sinking down to weep

Your Davy Jones' love and loss

Fills the Mariana Hollow

Mariana, Mariana

Over six miles deep

Mariana, I bear your cold silence

Warm memories fail to quench

Your love is as close and as far away

As the Mariana Trench

My Mariana, I confess

I keep sinking down to weep

Your Davy Jones' love and loss

Fills the Mariana Hollow

Mariana, Mariana

Over six miles deep

I wear a growing hope to witness

The day I feel your living light caress

To be with you in the endless

Mariana Trench darkness

Mariana Marie Jones

Your Davy Jones' love and loss

Is approaching seven miles deep

Yet I feel you come closer

While sinking to my knees

Upon my

Upon my

Upon my Mariana's Trench

I miss you, Mariana

With deepest love,

Your David
