Pirates and Poets
The poets are like the pirates,
Who steal your love instead.
Hide it away with treasure and gold,
Mark it with that solemn X.
Before stumbling back to sanity,
Clutching only maps and memories.
Rolling on the laughing open seas,
Until the hidden love beckons.
The pirates are like the poets,
Hopelessly in love.
