Inspired

 This poem is very special to me and has a bit of a back story.

             I drew this,

just to help me think really. My muse from the last poem got inspired and came up with this,

                                                                                                                                                        

and I felt like I really really needed to expand on it, maybe write a song...but this is what I finally came up with.

The queen of the seas she was not,

But the captain thought no less,

He lovingly watched her sails billow,

Reminiscent of a woman's tress.

And he treated her just so,

With tender loving care,
She was everything to him,

Anyways, he didn't know of any heir.

There she flew on, this pirate ship,

Challenging the darkening skies,
While just like a jealous woman,
Goddess moon gave her the evil eye.

This ship had challenged the fates too long,
Or so the Goddess thought,
Enticing the waves ever so slow,
Revenge was all she sought.

The wind grew to a fabulous howl,

The waves not long behind,

These forces grew steadily stronger,
They had a ship to ravage and grind.

And so the ship was fated to stay,

Never again to see land,
And there she stayed for eternity,
Just as she was drawn by the artist's hand.
