Night dressed in a
cloak of velvet black
distant dreams
between heaven and earth
mystical stories
woven fabrics of life giving birth
silver stars dance, two light hearted fools on track
Captain Pat at the helm under a crescent moon
Truedessa playing
her drum, chanting songs
spotted cat curled at her side, where he belongs
somewhere, a golden lute plays a magical tune
A hunter, Orion takes form in the constellations
waves of emotions fills the green foaming seas
signaling upcoming danger for the traveling three
Truedessa senses some unusual vibrations
From beneath, dark murky waters start to churn
Captain Pat bellowing "hang on we're in for a
ride"
Truedessa and the
cat quickly stand by his side
ship whirls, sudden tremor causing concern
entering another realm ominous under world
two dark hideous eyes,
a giant scorpion king
thrashing through water,
a beast who can sting
reddish brown skin, poisonous venom is hurled
Trio on guard, steely blades in their hands
Truedessa shouts
"who summons us to this place"
goddess of dawn, cries
dressed in white lace
prisoner of Hades, stealing light from the lands
Beware of the stinger as the scorpion spins
Captain Pat and the cat under a brutal attack
Truedessa slams her sword into the beast back
we will win this battle before a new day begins
a jolt, Truedessa cries, Captain Pat feels her sting
spotted cat quickly jumps standing by her side
Hades laughs, soon there will be no place to hide
Suddenly, an arrow pierces the beast with a zing
rolling waters, orbs of twinkling light fill the sea
Orion, hunter of the sky dives into the depth below
Captain Pat declares, hurry this place is going to blow
Captain Pat declares, hurry this place is going to blow
this time the scorpion will not win,. Hades quickly flees
on their sunken ship , roaring volcano ready to bust
Captain Pat at the helm the trio form a strong ring
the goddess of dawn slowly rises and begins to sing
they shoot from the sea, in a haze of volcanic dust
emerging to the surface,
steadying their rocking ship
flickering over the horizon, dawns yellow orange rays
goddess of light,
two light hearted fools in a daze
Orion resting in the sky, they continue their trip
Mystical night, a new dawn but, will they find Bora Bay???

to sail with Captain Pat and his spotted cat..
Look at the trio go
ReplyDeleteDamn, got sucked down below
The cat got wet hair
That doesn't scare
But must piss him off
All begin to scoff.
Hades must die
The damn guy won't fry
The beasts are something to behold
Could sell them for lots of gold
But then they aren't nice
So they paid the price
Thankfully there was help from above
These tales I love
That trio is always on the go
Deleteyou never know what will show
as they slowly make their way
to the shores of bora bora bay
Cap....tain.... Pat? At the helm?

ReplyDeleteGail,
DeleteThanks for returning the visit..I really enjoyed your artwork.
a fun read...cool.. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks I am glad it was fun to read..
DeleteStyx is dangerous waters, not for the fainthearted. I guess the Goddess of dawn was without Charon's fee and had to resort to the mercy of the adventurous three. A fine rescue for sure!
