Poem
Alas morning has come, the treacherous storm has passed Anticipation heightens my senses as the wind swirls past, The essence of musk engulfs me; Replacing the aroma of sea salt that once filled the misty air I am assured that my beloved pirate is homeward bound Perched upon my lighted tower I gaze out across the horizon, waiting, hoping For that first glimpse of the storm tattered sails That adorn the vessel that had denied me that which makes me whole Although the competition that vies for the heart of the Pirate may be grandiose, There can be only one victor! I cachinnate at your feeble attempt To match wits with my poetic prose Step aside Oh witch of the sea And wipe the gull crap from your nose Tis my beauty and grace that will prevail I am the picture in his mind You are just a barnacle Hideous and unrefined I pity you and your reckless dreams Of captivating the Pirates heart For no wretched wench of the sea Could ever keep us apart A Pirate does not long for Raunchy harlots dressed in rags Courtesans with damaged goods Or withered old sea hags Nor is it a rotund woman Paunchy and robust That titillates his senses Filling his loin with lust It is I dressed in fine linen Pink orchids in my hair The scent of passion I emanate Will be more than he can bear So step aside young peasant girls Watch and whimper in despair As he chooses the lovely Princess Both voluptuous and fair Your songs are inchoate and crude Like the Sirens fatal call I sing my celestial serenade Your harm it will forestall (Song of the Princess) For I am your ardent Mariner Manning the beacon that lights your way Pacing the gallery day and night From my post I will not stray Time has yet to diminish The taste you left behind That gentle kiss that bid farewell Remains within my mind The vacuity induced by your absence Has been replaced with a burning desire To settle myself upon your manly hood And extinguish the sensual fire I touch my fingers to my lips Then place them at my heart A tear descends down my cheek Creating the waters that keep us apart In desperation I call to Poseidon Great God of the sea Hear my prayers, feel my pain Bring my pirate back to me Please hurry home sweet Captain Oh pirate of the sea Hurry home to the one you love Well all know that ‘s me! To all the strumpets that compete It's time that we retrench Save your hearts and walk away He’ll chose the Princess not the wench
