Tossed about
By the curse of the sea
The crew, in peril,
Could not break free.
The demons held tight,
Never letting go
Poor little ship,
Thrown about, to and fro.
Damaging waves
Thrashed about the bow
Men, hanging on,
But they didn’t know how
To stop the water
From coming aboard
Surely, someone
Had caused this discord
No time to wonder
No time to blame
The rocks, getting closer
Held each of their names
One by one,
They disappeared
Voices, now silenced
It’s what they had feared
They never did find
This vessel, lost at sea
Surely, evil prevailed
Twas the Devil’s apogee

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

Guided by light, through the misty night
A ship finds its way, across the ocean
Bobbing in the sea, it remains a mystery
How it was brought here, on waves of motion
Or perhaps it’s the moon, makes sailors swoon
Unaware are they, of her alluring beams
Closer they come, until they are numb
Alas, all is not really what it seems
Still, the ship heads in, from where its been
Sails folded, as she glides toward shore
A crash, tis a sight, though try as they might
They can save themselves, nevermore
