To Sail the Open Sea

  • The sea, she ever calls to me
    She knows me not by name
    Nor never questions where I go
    Or where from land I came

    The sea, she ever calls to me
    She guides me with her wind
    Though journey's end is where I sail
    With her I must begin

    The sea, she ever calls to me
    She stirs this pirate heart
    Within its depths she'll always be
    For we will never part

  • AWESOME!!!

    I wrote this one as a chapter header for the SoT fanfic I'm writing. I modeled the language on poets from the 17th and 18th centuries. Pretty much the whole story arc of the chapter is in the poem, if you can make sense of the language. :)

    Awaken sword in silent humble death
    O’er shadowed tear stain’d form the Captain lie
    In tender paine his blooded rage lament
    And fruitless wordes he utter ‘neath a breath
    A vow to cleave the sickle moon or die

    On sainted hill he lay his feeble wraithe
    To rest ‘neath dappled laurel shade and sunne
    ‘Til cometh back her love on lonely staithe
    To quothe black ryte and ryse her up again

  • Love it op.
