Captain Nemo

Captain Nemo

I; Captain Nemo from the silent darkness of the deep search for a rare lost treasure that vanished so very long ago.

Keenly my periscope surveys the shores, scanning intently as through the dark of the deep the Nautilus does silently go.

Always stealthy, yet when the magnificent Nautilus surfaces at any port, the grandest of entrances she makes there putting on such a show.`

The genius in building the wondrous Nautilus everyone can see, with the grandeur of the spectacular Nautilus giving them all such a glow.

From the elegant state rooms decorated in ornate gold, to the lavish meals in the opulent dinning room, then dancing in a room fit for a ball.

Around each corner some fantastic new way, enamoring everyone because the beautiful and stately, awe inspiring Nautilus captivated them all.

Yet even with such riches, I remain the sole commander of the deep, here all alone in my fortress of solitude, by my hand and mind's iron will.

Searching everywhere for that long ago vanished treasure, never content until my one true soul mate I may find... until...

That rarest of rare treasures stops always beckoning unto me from somewhere that I must find, “out there!”

Doomed to travel the world if that is what must be, combing the lands to seek out my soul mate so fair.

To ever so gently take her by her delicate hand on the most amazing trip of a lifetime there together at the bottom of the sea.

Sharing all this whole world has to offer with my soul mate, as Love abounds on the Nautilus living our lives wild and free.

Alas she has been nowhere to be found as yet, and I pursue my vigilant task to find my soul mate true.

No matter where you may be, that place I will some day find, and never relent on this daunting search until I find you.

Remaining ever stealthy hidden in the darkest keep, yet always hunting for you my soul mate with whom our love forever more stays.

Traveling in the wonders of the majestic Nautilus to all parts of the world, happily ever after unto the very last of our many days.

I have never imagined owning a luxery submarine, but it does sound like a neat way to travel. When you think of the three dimensions of the oceans and that they also take up 71% of the earth, that's a lot of traveling to do.frog motorcycle

It would be the trip of a lifetime literally. Even if you started out young with the sheer vastness of the oceans it would take more than a single lifetime to see and explore it all.
