Salted seas in the blue mystery of twilight
silent moments as celestial heavens awake
two light hearted fools,
bid the sun goodnight
ghostly seamen
moan from past mistakes
Against a wooden crate, Truedessa drums
spotted cat curls next to her on the deck
Captain Pat, lost in thought softly hums
in the vast universe we are but a speck
Truedessa drifts with the driving beat
hypnotic trance, ancient songs fill the air
foamy waves wobbling under their feet
forming in twinkling stars, the great bear
Aligning heavens energy with earth
opening inner
channels within the sea
Capt'n Pat's eyes twinkling with mirth
spotted cat running around with glee
Within the universe a hidden cave
seven mighty stars, guide the way
suddenly, the two
are hit by a wave
an alien beast,
arises dark and gray
Evil giant fish,
with two oval heads
spitting seaweed, with a loud hiss
fanged teeth,
could tear them to shreds
causing havoc from that dark abyss
Cap't Pat springs into quick action
drawing his sword,
ready to slice
abolishing this ugly sea attraction
eyeing the cat,
beast better think twice
Spit, spitting SpittiNG
a net of seaweed around the captain
Truedessa hurries drawing her sword
Pat and the cat now held captive
nasty beast, slowly slithers aboard
Giant red orbs,
shooting fireballs
Truedessa, screams
with all her might
unleashing a giant energy wall
pledging her allegiance she will fight
Cat chews his way out as a fire erupts
Truedessa works on freeing Capt'n Pat
her mind going
into a state of flux
just as the evil two headed grabs the cat
A golden teardrop falls from her eyes
Capt'n Pat trying to extinguish the blaze
suddenly rain
begins to fall from the sky
loud growl, giant
bear appears in the haze
Capt'n Pat and Truedessa
give a quick look
two humongous paws with sharp black nails
mystical bear will need no fishing hook
swatting the huge fish against the ship rails
Truedessa and Pat eagerly lend a hand
two headed fish,
losing its strength
one last swat sending him into another land
his defeated body floating at great length
Giving thanks, Truedessa
hugged the bear
Capt'n Pat and the spotted cat give a nod
drifting upward to the sky, protecting his lair
his cave in the constellation , home of the gods
Capt'n Pat and Truedessa gaze the sky
once again, their
ship is safe from harm
the stars shimmer rare jewels up high
from her tresses she pulls a lucky charm
a bear tooth shines...

A foolish fantasy maybe, but such fun to play out with power when you are the heroine!
Foolish, but fun to write..thanks for visiting Susan.
DeleteI love the chapter, smiles ~ Hey, you are the real hero, not Pat ~ I admire the guts of the woman to slay the beast ~
ReplyDeleteGrace
Thanks Grace another chapter...woman can be strong when need be..
DeleteSo glad their ship is free from harm once again. They seem to be under a magical spell!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
DeleteI guess it is safe for now...
This one was action-packed, & I do believe your choice of fantastical words resonates with the dVerse prompt; perhaps even my cinemagenic poems would fit the jig, & flesh out the form.
ReplyDeleteSmiling - we do like to write those long tales..always an adventure to explore.
DeleteI like this. Strong.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gail..
DeleteI should have waited for my spring cleaning to take this picture. The koi made it through another winter. Both water gardens are now clean and clear with flowers and rocks all around...and of course, grands. Thank you.
DeleteGail,
DeleteMaybe, you can post another picture so we can experience the beauty.
The valiant Truedessa fought well and hard - thank heavens for Friend Bear's timely arrival. I so enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sherry,
DeleteIt is good to have a bear for a friend.
