A Pirate's Love

All across the continents I chased her
Following the rainbow to win her gold.
Hoping somehow, someday, I’d embrace her,
A treasure beyond price that I might hold.

Beyond the Seven Seas my ship has sailed.
Relentlessly, her smile I did pursue.
I am her Galahad, she is my Grail.
To win her heart there’s nothing I’d not do.

The boundaries of time cannot hinder
And distance cannot tear my dream apart.
Though it burn to nothing but a cinder,
The flame will smolder always in my heart.

So, raise the sails! The wind is on our side!
A pirate’s love will never be denied!

This is fantastic, Stephen. I can't think why I haven't dipped into your poetry before now. This has pleasant rhythmic flow and a great storyline. Thoroughly enjoyable!
