I take to forbidden love
as much as I take to Old Monk.
Like a Caribbean pirate
I rob a young girl of her heart
when she like a ship in full sails
comes for a sail in my sea.
I fall on her
like a storm that closes on
and closes around daringly set sails
but never pulls up the mast.
And never like a tempest
I lash to stripe her off her mermaid like grace
lashing out with mid-sea monster waves.
And never turn her over
to sink deep down in the timeless oblivion.
And as a lover pirate
I hand my heart to her
to place it in her empty vault
and then I vanish into the sea and its sweet salt!
