While rest of pod is grouping together
We shall slip away and seek a tether.
Far away from spawning yearly waters
Express our true nature's primal matters.
Around, around, then up and down we play
Our secret sacred dance forever stay.
Our blubber softened bodies slide and grind
Black on White, our graceful form's intertwine.
Deeper. Deeper. Dive from prying shark eyes
The black still depths echo our canal cries
Our held lungs burn with pleasure baited breaths
And hold this moment, risk even our deaths
And there we shall dance to the end of time
Always, forever, your heartbeats with mine.
