Poem Title:
Poem
In the setting sun, I cast away the anchors And set sail my wooden vessel of dreams I, the captain and the crew, alone savvy orders And keep the deck a splendid shine, I scream Nay, none wave too bold to steal away my sailing soul in sleep while I claim the seas Nay, none pirate has seen the likes of me and I dare him to attempt such an act with ease Tis’ my wooden vessel Tis’ my setting sun And I claim this whole sea for me ‘Cause I am the captain ‘Cause I am the thief Who takes what I want and see… …’Cause, a pirate’s life for me! Stars twinkle like treasure so stole up high In the velvet skies that hide the hands For what holds them there above my head In a daring grip so high above the lands Nay, I merely stay aboard my sailing ship when there’s diamonds to be had for me Nay, I rest my soul til I have those twinkling jewels and force the would be thieves to flee Tis’ my diamond stars Tis’ my wanting treasure And I claim this whole sea for me ‘Cause I am the one ‘Cause I am the thief Who takes what I want and see… …’Cause a pirate’s life for me! I see golden reflections in the eyes ashore And know they must be calling to me I shall put them in my pockets for me to keep And be the richest man the world will ever see Alas, I set sail to the fringed edges of land where bounty and riches stack high in the air Alas, I aim my bow to the golden eyes that belong in my treasure box of pirate flair Tis’ my golden eyes Tis’ my squinting flair And I claim this whole sea for me ‘Cause I am the man ‘Cause I am the thief Who takes what I want and see… …’Cause a pirate’s life for me! As the sun rises from the black horizon And sets shine across the gleaming seas I see treasure flashing from each wave That I must steal just for me Yes, I take what treasure no one else can ever steal and I take it just for me Yes, I am a pirate and I am a thief that must steal to keep my sails at sea Tis’ the pirate’s way Tis’ Life at sail And I claim this whole sea for me ‘Cause I choose to sail ‘Cause I choose to be One who takes what I want and see… And a pirate’s life for me!
