My world is changed, O magnificent night!
Boundless and wondrous as the sea is strong
surmounting day extinguishing all light,
dark eyed mysterious beauty, carbon
skies rage against the coming of the sun
and love her not, fomenting rebel clouds
to steal her heat and quell her fiery tongue.
O night! All consuming, immense and proud
conquering the universe unseated and unbowed.
If I keep reading your poems I'll quit being a priest and become a cutthroat pirate! 11!
There is always room for one more swashbuckler on the Malevolent. We actually could use a devout priest with a sense of humor. Not to dissuade you but I'm not actually sure what happened to the last one. I think Pirate Girl got him stowed away somewhere. She probably thinks he is insurance for when her time comes. Who knows! It's a big ship!
