Captain Cur Poems

Her strong voice unbridled, now quietness
express, silence more bountiful than time;
upon her lips my hopes will surely rest
to taste the flowing outreach of her rhyme.
...

These lines I write cannot go unrehearsed
reciting to the image that I knew
this voice that shakes exemplifies my verse
and the theme that compels me, lovely you.
...

'Come young pirates, let's drink our fill!
Let's test our hearts, let's test our skill!
Fortune's current will lead our way
Look no more to the crimson bay.
...

May grave passion yield fealty to the sea;
may I in abject service be as free,
shorn of an empire, compelled from home
surrounded by the limitless unknown;
...

Tonight the moon is new and spreads her light
And weaves between the clouds of milky white,
Does she dream? Does she love like me?
Stewarded to the earth and sapphire sea.
...

Reciting for me
like you did for your Grandmother
when you were a little girl I
measure the sweet shyness in your voice,
...

Mavros came, hovering over that vast forested roof,
Shattering a diamond sky with a wounding screech;
The smell of embers, unforgiving proof
Of the enormity of the dragon's reach.
...

Knifelike shoals comb the reefs of fate
intriguing as the foam waves mate
intertwined in voiceless keys
roundelays of vestal seas.
...

Truth and love, naked beauty in their arms,
taming man defeated by their charms.
On plush meadows loves youthful urges play,
the river calm, smooth daylight waning dusk,
...

Pleasant intermittent rhythms
voiceless smiles that transverse space
sunlight plays in raindrop prisms
each one falls to intrigue my face.
...
