Into the deep

I visit you beneath
the willowy seaweed canopy
of your deep sea lair.
I don't understand why
you gave up the sun
for the taste of salt
on your tongue and
the mercurial fishes.
You are elusive,
like a ghost,
even as I hold you
in my arms
you abscond
on a current
into the deep.

I just realized that I was so caught up in the news that I completely forgot to write a poem yesterday... Oops!
