velvet sky, glistening silver moonlight
white sails dancing, gentle sea breeze
whispering haunting
tales, dreams ignite
captain charting new course with ease
Truedessa slips her arms around him
eyeing the map and compass at hand
hot yellow-orange candlelight dims
flickering visions, drifting desert sand
cat lost , giant pyramids take form
mystical gathering deity of the moon
flashing bright,
rapid meteor storm
warning signs of
what will appear soon
mystic sky small opening, blinding light
cats eyes full of wonder gently rising
Truedessa grabs his tail taking flight
Captain Pat latches on not surprising
floating upward what will be their plight
gateway , entering the shadow land
darkness surrounds, ship out of sight
BOOM , Bang, clash, craSH
CRACK.. Zip...Zap
lost, utterly confused struggling to stand
Truedessa crying, crazy cat missing
captain surveying,
devising a plan
distant noise, disgruntled cat hissing
traveling by foot stumbling upon a man
riding a camel, captain makes a deal
trading a rare jewel for a helping hand
rescuing the cat, they may have to steal
Truedessa following distant hissing sound
up ahead huge ancient golden pyramid
sudden fear, we should circle around
atmosphere hazy, growing humid
sticky air
scorching heat
rapid..heartbeat..
quietly dismounting sneaking a peek
sacrificial offering,hypnotized jeweled cat
trembling earth shakes,Truedessa shrieks
sandstorm blowing, guards falling splat
captain draws his iron sword & attacks
Truedessa, conjuring spirits ancient ones
ghostly figures covering their backs
grabbing the cat, distant portal, RUN
RUN, FASTER, FASTER...
leaping head first, huge ring of fire
frantic spinning, trying to get a grip
dizziness, not sure what transpired
candlelight flickers back on the ship
snuffing red flame, slipping into bed
Captain & Truedessa blanket of night
bora bora shores flashing in their heads
cat resting at their feet , twinkling light
illusion...could it be... jewel
collar glowing bright
Two light hearted fools bid you good-night...
