Pirates

Sailing the seas of love

Tossed on the oceans of your heart

Whatever the weather

We are pirates of the earth

Plundering our emotions

From the finish to the start.

 

 Crashing on the rocks of life

Shattering our souls on cliffs of glass

Surfing the waves  of chance

Salt tears in our hair

Whirlpools of circumstance 

 

Danger as the winds that blow round the earth

Albatross free for what it’s worth

Soaring on the warmth of our smiles

Up here we can see for miles

No care for anyone else

Wrapped up in love for ourselves 

 

No touchdown on dry land

We can stay up here forever

None can touch the free of mind

None can take away the deep

Pirates of the earth keep us free.

A really beautiful poem, Pete! I loved the lines:
"Surfing the waves of chance
Salt tears in our hair
Whirlpools of circumstance" 🌷
