Deep love

posted on 23 May 2020
In cold darkness of deep waters
Where would pressure crush your skull
There is different thing which matters
Deep down there is life lonely and dull

In this hostile environment
Is very hard to find a mate
I am still single at this moment
I became beast and you are bait

After ages of exhaustive gloom
I can smell the pheromones
Withered hope is now strong bloom
Desire is ingrained to my bones

In this eternal night,
I can see your light!

What God has joined together,
let man not separate.
Even deep down in the water,
I love you in spite of fate

The first time it can little hurt
When I will bite throw your skin
Now you’ll be my only consort
And I’ll be your pectoral fin

I’ll get rid of my eyes!
Because you stay in my memories
I’ll get rid of my bones!
Now I can be with you for centuries
I’ll get rid of my guts!
My pabulum is our strong love
I’ll get rid of my soul!
that’s my last thing that left

And now…
In this ethernal night…
You can by my light!

What God has joined together,
let man not separate.
Even deep down in the water,
I love you in spite of fate

Note

Deep-sea anglerfishes have evolved a curious reproductive strategy. Tiny males attach themselves to gigantic females so tightly that the tissues of the two animals eventually fuse. The male esssentially turns into a sperm-producing parasite. This phenomenon is known as sexual parasitism which avoids rejection reaction that usually happens after organ transplantation.

You can find more information about this phenomena on Wikipedia.
