Thirsty for Blood – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

A silhouette against the sun
The wind takes over sails
As pirates slumber in the night
In hopes, the wind won’t fail

Lest they be forever adrift
In a sea, oft unforgiving
Battering waves, tossed about
Yet, it’s how they go on living

The life they choose, no matter
What others, of them, may think
They’ll stash abundant treasure
As they watch the others sink

Into the deepest oceans
Lost, in a battle of greed
Thirsty for blood, they conquer
No matter how much you plead

They take it all, there’s nothing left
Your ship, lay barren and wasted
And you cling to life, but lose the fight
Your own blood, you now have tasted

The sound of the ocean calls

And its creatures gather

To hear the mighty roar

Softly playing within

Only a whisper, crashing

Among the white capped waves

Sail upon the velvet clouds

Feel the ocean’s rousing rush

Get lost in fields of lavender

Hear the forest’s gentle hush

Breathe in air of scented pine

Climb the rocks and reach the sky

Wrap yourself in magnificence

Listen, as your senses sigh

Myrtle Beach – #poetry – #JulyWriting

Waves, against the sand, the tide rolls in

As I walk along the beach, this summer day

The pier, in the distance, waits in hazy morn

The softening day, through the clouds, allay

Tones of pink, against gray, night dissipates

Coloring the skies, with my favorite hues

Reeds blow gently, in the hush of the breeze

Shadows creep quietly, then, slip from view

The taste of the sea, the salt in the air

Memories, of my childhood, spent there

To go back, and relive, those days in the sun

Lazily walking, until the daylight is done
