love you're the first lighthouse with a bright beacon that shines across this ocean
carved into foundations chiseled within emotions plastered covered feelings etched in stone climbing each step a winding staircase one skyscraper heading towards the Heaven's
a lofty tower built standing tallest rising from out of the ground one kingdom white stone faced marble blocks cemented with lead mortar bonded together
upon the Cupola a great fire burns lighting across, the ocean warmly carrying for miles one curved mirrored soul searching waters
lights into a hot beam setting this ship on passions fire desire in this ocean swimming remains the wonder of you
a torso of one woman living in the heart beating drums within this deep blue sea trembles hotly ablaze on fire
loving until the end of time sealed with 800 hundred gold kisses a wonderful treasure

About this poem:
one wonder drawn from the lighthouse of Alexander 800 TALENTS equal to 3 million in today's money to build cupola is where the light burned stories were told that the light could burn approaching ships first lighthouse a skyscraper Ptolemy 11 carved his inscription into the foundations then covered it with plaster built with marble stone faced blocks bedded in lead plaster a large curved mirror of polished bronze projected the fires light into a beam also said to be a weapon when concentrated with the sun setting ships ablaze some distance away could also be used as a mirror that magnified images in the distance

Strong detailed emotions and words the concept that a light could destroy ships in its beam :-) so laughable now but when trains invented they said they would also be a danger but hey they where the time of simple minded folk who now the new concepts of new inventions great with enjoed this my friend
