A Epic Voyage

On lofty seas she's carried me Across many an ocean wide Through winds and waves O'er watery graves And many an angry tide I be seen all sorts In many a port Me lads an me hoist a few Then back to the sail Midst raging gale Into waters crystal blue Thars a lass who waits Near Harbors gates With brown skin oh so fine She takes me in Tho im wearing thin She doesnt pay no mind A night o lust Shakes of the rust In her bosom I shut me eyes And rise in Morn Used and forlorn An greet the azure skies A wink of eye A kiss good bye For salt air beckons me Loves found and lost I counts the cost For me first love is the sea.

What a beautiful poem Carl! In pirate's jargon too! A poem for you: A smile you brought to me My heart is yours so take the oars and row me out to see!

Just browsing around and came upon this - short and fun to read poem of yours...and I suppose many of those who sail feel like this.
