Truedessa and Capt'n Pat met one day
seeking an
enchanted island of dreams
they built a ship, so they could sail away
rays of hope fell upon them in streams
Now, these two were often called fools
as they believed in a utopia filled land
following heavenly stars the only rule
the adventures to be had were grand
These two fought
pirates on the sea
and sometimes an evil menacing
ghost
Grumpy Blue said Bora was the place to be
they set the course from coast to coast
Capt'n Pat traveled with a spotted cat
Truedessa's head full of lofty thoughts
looking skyward the two would often chat
the view would be different as astronauts
One night the waves grew raw & rough
tossing their vessel from side to side
the two knew darkness would be tough
in a small shallow voice Truedessa cried
Washed ashore, in
the morning light
she looked about,
their vessel broken
Capt'n Pat was now nowhere in sight
spotted cat by her side no word spoken
On a small island Truedessa did stand
a balmy breeze amidst tall palm trees
her senses alert foul play is at hand
sunlight glistened
upon a deep sea
Following her inner voice into the brush
the sound of warrior drums growing
cat and Truedessa sprinted with a rush
in blue haze a vision started showing
An army of monkeys had Capt'n Pat
who was behind this sinister plot
an empress laughed, wearing Pat's hat
"who will save you from this lot"
The empress spoke of magical stones
Truedessa would offer to make a deal
stepping out into the light as it shone
the spotted cat closely at her heels
The empress was impressed by her glow
I want rare gems hidden in a secret cave
bring me the stones and I will let him go
if not, you two might dig your own grave
Now, Truedessa agreed to the wicked terms
the cat by her side and some monkey guards
she would feed that evil woman some worms
calling upon the powers of pirates graveyards
Traveling the trail upwards towards the sky
conjuring lions to chase off a monkey or two
a battle of wit,
as a mystical dragon did fly
beyond the vines,
the cavern came into view
Truedessa entered into the dark cold walls
as bats flew around her head in swarms
trembling from cold, she thought she'd fall
from somewhere a burst of fire kept her warm
Two giant gemstone
glistening inside the lair
lustrous eyes of a dragon with a beating heart
Truedessa softly sighed and said a silent prayer
to injure this creature she would have no part
Descending the mountain,
she needed a plan
how would she appease the fury of the empress
under a setting sun, she met a mountain man
who offered her help in a magical necklace
Returning the empress demanded the gemstones
Truedessa held out
instead a strand of white pearls
explaining they
came from the eternal life throne
Just as the empress placed them on the wind whirled
The belly of the earth shook, a giant quake
Capt'n Pat hollered we need to get out of here
around the empresses neck a hissing snake
choking on her own words, she disappeared
Truedessa and the cat quickly set Capt'n Pat free
running towards the beach in record speed
they longed to be back on
their ship on the sea
swooping down a dragon came in a time of need
Jumping on his
back they soared the skyline
Truedessa exhausted fell into a deep sleep
Capt'n Pat and his spotted cat were fine
resting in the land of nod a dreamer weeps
author's note: This was written in the spirit
of two light hearted fools. May they always
follow that star of dreams...For those who
don't know I have written several of these
adventures in the past. Thanks for taking
the time to read this long story/poem.
