Honour Bright Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 This was sent to me by a friend who wrote this years ago. It was too good to keep to myself and with her permission, I am posting it here to share with you. ©2011 by Denise Andrew Medley. All Rights Reserved. DAMSEL ME AND PIRATE YOU Not unless you take the wheel Could you know or could you feel The boldest man I ever knew... Damsel me and pirate you A sailor on his brutal quest Pillage souls and plunder flesh A bleeding heart is his tattoo.... Damsel me and pirate you A journey sweet and glory bound Smacks of cruel and runs aground The roughest storm that ever blew.... Damsel me and pirate you Danger sweeps across the deck Bruise my arm and bites my neck Stole my breath and left no clue.... Damsel me and pirate you Against all odds that I could win Velvet lips against my skin Drew your sword and ran me through.. Damsel me and pirate you Ripped my heart and left me frail Took my love and then set sail Abandoned me without a crew... Damsel me and pirate you Did you catch me on my knees Petty thief...oh pretty please Tell me know what I should do... Damsel me and pirate you Forty years later..... A rakish man who prowls at sea And boasted his virility Was once the soul I used to be.... Damsel you and pirate me Naïve lady in distress A novice in a sultry dress Did meet a man of revelry... Damsel you and pirate me A lover's dream in silhouette Stands before me soaking wet Picked your lock and turned my key Damsel you and pirate me A shallow brute who lost his edge And fell down on his knees instead When lust became my enemy... Damsel you and pirate me Empty words are laid to rest Pocket of coins and loneliness Left a hole that you can't see... Damsel you and pirate me I can't touch and I can't taste Or see the moonlight on your face But I still hold the memory Damsel you and pirate me And now behold this mortal man Whose ghost ship ages in the sand I close my eyes....and long to see.... Damsel you and pirate me Taking on the world....one pair of boots at a time! A little bit of this...a little bit of that...a lot of dreams....
