Pirate Prince's Vow. . .

[Kendra The Sea Maid]

I.

Here is another epic poem thanks to Siren (my big sis) This goes along with the Dark Prince of Plunder! Enjoy!!

I.

I have sailed the seven, searching for that small bit o’ heaven

Since the age of three, nothing compares to she.

I’ve watched her walk the moon kissed surf,

And give silent praise to the one who gave her birth.

As the waves did roll, into the water she did stroll

With long raven hair covering just so, all that God gave her would just barely show.

Then something caught me by surprise, when I saw her limbs and thighs

Transform themselves into a sailor’s deepest wish that of a tail of the largest fish!

Green as the color of the seas, the sight of this made me weak in the knees.

She swayed her way through the wake,

My heart pounded so I thought it would break.

I saw the green with gold fleck in her eye, as she came close I was petrified.

When she spoke it was like an angelic choir igniting my very desire

II.

“Oh brave prince of pirates who pillage and plunder

Like a child, you shake and shudder.

Your adventures and exploits are legendary, always sailing to places dark and scary,

Ready to give the largest galleon a good race,

Yet like a rabbit your heart beats at a quicker pace.

By your scars and wounds I surmise, many a man has met their demise.

Nothing seems to phase you, not even in battle,

So tell me what has you in such a rattle?

You once proclaimed your only love was the sea, and in so saying you also love me!

Remember always as now, your precious promise and sacred vow!”

III.

In the early light of dawn, I found that she was gone.

Was it real as it did seem, or was it all just an elaborate dream?

The image of her is still etched in my memory for all of eternity

The saltiness of her kiss fills me with an intoxicating bliss!

I search the seas in vain, hoping to catch just a glimpse of her again.

O’ maiden of the sea, wherefore do you hide from me?

IV.

“What such a man is this, pirate prince

That women should faint for a simple kiss?”

His arrogance can be seen a fathom away simply by the way he talks and sways!

See how easily they take to his arm, as he weaves his not so subtle charm.

They blush giggle and sigh, unwear of the glint in his eye.

“What be your scheme?” I glare, “of your kind I am fullly aware!”

He stopped short on deck, he glared back and grabbed my neck.

But I showed no fear, as he bent close to my ear,

“You have spirit and flame, I like a woman who knows the rules of the game!”

Boling, my fury I wanted him to taste, so with all in me I slapped his face!

Unmoved he rubbed his chin and asked, “Care to go again?”

But before I could deliver another blow, I was over his shoulder and off we did go.

V.

Like a great water spout, she fussed freted twirling about.

Yelling and ranting at the top of her lungs, I waited paticently till she was done!

“Are you quite finished now?” I said, that was when she walloped my head.

Then she cackled with glee,

“Serves you right for what you have done to such as me!”

I decited then this was of no use, so I put out my hand and called it truce.

It was at that moment I did realize that I was staring into those same green eyes!

“Wherefore do you look at me so? Release my hand, let it go!”

“I can not let you back to sea, where my heart is that is where you should be.”

“What are these words you say, is this part of the game you play?

For I have known many like you who break hearts before they are through.”

“The words I speak are forgin even unto me, but you have set this captive free.”

VI.

He is most unwell, he certainly under my most powerful spell!

There was something in his words that rang so true, I do at once what I must do.

I prayed for the moon to rise, for I must go back into the sea,

And undo the bonds that behold him to me.

“Do you not love me? Why must you go?”

“I love you more than you could ever know. . .

Remember always as now, your precious promise and sacred vow!”
