Poem Title:
Poem
It was the 17th century, and I was travelling with my family, We were sailing to Europe and a new beginning; Father had brought all our money and belongings on the ship, Everything we owned was in the hull in chests tied down. It was dawn when the Pirates came out of the fog, The battle was short, and I am not sure how many died; I was so afraid as I clung to father, shivering on the cold deck, There was enormous booty taken from the ships hull. When the Pirates finished, we were looked over critically, I had heard tales of these rogues taking girls as slaves; The captain touched my raven hair with his long fingers, I could not look at him but I sensed his mighty strength. He grabbed my arm and dragged me away screaming, That was the last I saw of my family; I was a captive; His ship was massive and the jolly roger flag fluttered, I looked back as my boat faded on the distance waves. I was sure that all my family was dead and I wept and wept, The Pirate captain put me in a cabin and locked the door; Days turned into weeks and weeks and still he did not come, Then one night as I combed my hair; there he was. In two long strides, he had me in his arms of steel, And I was swept away with his passionate kiss; I could not believe that I, a virgin, was in the Pirates arms, Fighting was useless, and why try, this was my future. So, I melted quietly into his embrace and I was his, I let him seduce me with his body and his words; Pleasure was flowing through my young eager body in waves, And I knew that I was truly a prisoner of this man. In the days and nights that passed, I loved him, I was his slave, but he soon became mine as well; He whispered in my ears, promises of treasures and gowns, And in time, I grew to love this Pirate of my heart. ___________________________ September 3, 2015 Narrative Submitted to the contest, 101 In A Row - 8 Sponsor, PD Third Place ______________________________ Written for the contest, A Pirate's Life For Me, Sponsor, Kelly Deschler First Place
