Sails Set
I went to Sea a lad, now a man
From dockhand to Captain of Ship
Ports afar I have sailed to
A Star to sail her by
Gently a wheel grasped
Firmly in hand
Sailing in
A fine
Ship

Message
I picked up a bottle from the Surf
Within was your message so bold
Telling of Love and of want
Sent over waters deep
Rolled and corked tightly
Tear stained and faded
A letter
Now read

Long Run
Lustful attentions last just so long
Giving way to more mature thoughts
Friendship plants seeds of new growth
Rooting the heart in place
Soundly fixed in the mind
Youthful beauty

I lost my heart again yesterday
Doe eyed young lady did me in
Stole my heart in one long look
Lips pursed in worried state
Accepts help wide eyed
Dewy eyed lass
Always been
Downfall
Mine

Arrgh!!
Standing with flintlock drawn, fully cocked
Other hand on hilt of his sword
Swearing vengeance on those fools
Who would try to board him
Rue the day, they would
When after all
The bottom
They did
Sink

Souls Bared
She drives me deep into Passion's arms
Embraces my faults, the real me
Strangers no more, we are one
Looking past the surface
Deep into our hearts
And only there
Truly Love,
Will we
Find

Special Night
I met her in a tavern quite nice
Over pints we shared a secret
Then to her ship we did go
Adjusting to the ship's roll
Waking with much bliss
I placed upon
Her finger
