Stowaway
Adrift the ripples of the briny deep,
Under watchful eyes of serene in keep,
A stowaway aboard a ship of ghosts,
Plundered bullion stacked pillar to post.
Cursed vessel home to a pirateās hell,
Sailing solemn midst sounding knell.
Echoes of cries and laughs and roars,
Berating each other as violence soars.
I hide away, creep sombre and low,
As treacherous marauder, the plank bestowed.
Cackling cries, gold hard to resist,
Water rat walked, plunged into the abyss.
Pilfered coin, I sneak away,
Before darkness fades into light of day.
Angry spectres a view to kill,
Seek to dip me in saline and swill.
Swords are drawn midst hellacious cries,
Bellow and shrills of āhe must dieā!
I dive over board beneath the stars and moon,
Captain aboard watchful and croon.
Canons aimed and ready to fire,
In the depths of the blue, adrift in dire.
I close my eyes as fuses are lit,
Sudden day break, I evade their grit.
