Quivering Sails - Mysterious Tale

On a far away ship in the Caribbean sea

in the early morn', exactly half past three

mighty sails quiver, under a Halloween moon

 beautiful siren sings a bewitching tune

captain and crew disappeared that day

for their lost souls, the islanders silently pray

Dead Men - Tell No Tales

 In a ringed-sea; shines a sunless-gem

high tide-looped braided-ropes around

the crow's nest

moon-blown wind echoed with dark-

vowelled ghostly songs...

dust-tongued pirates searched for

the water-spoken tales of hidden treasures

stealing pieces of eight, walking the plank

under a pitch-black sky, he- bird sang

 to she- bird of un-told riches for those

brave enough to sail the tear-culled waters

muffle-toed mariners deafen sounds

of lost souls, cradle-petals of black-rose

ravens, heaven-circling turbulent sea for those

bell-voiced believers in a diamond-clustered

sky..

author's note: Somewhere out there

a pirate sails. This is dedicated to a certain Captain and crew!
Har- thanks for the good-times

Thanks for visiting I had a bit of fun with this one!

Stormy Night - Haunting Songs

Siren

Aye, her light shines guiding sailors home

shadowy figures, weary pirates roam

out of the darkness, a schooner sails

creaky floorboards,  eerie wails

on a moonless night she's our sun

her glowing kiss, forgives what we've done

riding waves to the siren's haunting song

Vigilantly Waiting

along a rocky coastline , I  stand 
echoes of mystery , drifting  waves 
his ship sailed towards a distant land 
 turbulent waters, fearless & brave

 vigilantly , waiting for his return 
 reclaiming treasures  promised to me
 raging waters trail beyond the stern 
 shadowy figure , captain of the sea

guarding hidden  harbor of my heart 
you once took refuge in my loving arms 
my soul grieved the day you did  depart 
 spellbound by the tides magical charms 

pierced by a harpoon whales saddest song 
 awakening  dreams , sleeping too long ...
