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" 🌷
