Esha Jori Poet Rhyme

Goodbye my first mate

I spend my days in slumber 
But no dream could ever match
The smiles and the wonder 
That had kept our love latched 
Even in storms you were my summer 
You were the calm as waves crashed 
And your smile gave me colors 
Even when the blue was vast
But no matter what I plunder 
I can never take back the past
So your shantys what I mutter 
When the cannon balls fly past 
Why should my tale make me suffer
The longer that it lasts 
Why should I bother taking cover
If I could see you in a flash?

We once shared a bond 
That no one could ever measure 
But now that you're gone 
No more ink will fill my ledger
I've reached the end of my song
And you're still all that I treasure 
So I promise it won't be long
Until we sing it together
The crew might say it's wrong
To leave this ship forever 
But I know that I belong
Wherever we can be together
