Drifting like seaweeds are ebb tides of emotions
within porcelain sands marooned in the ocean
grains of sand and salt blend with devotion
haunted pirate ships sunken from greed
rubies upon skeletons, within ocean's creed
treasure chests entombed with pearl necklaces
gold and silver haunting Bluebeards premise
skeleton shrimp clinging to emerald moss
luring divers to a cemetery below
promising jade as buccaneer winds blow
masted vessels buried within the shrouds of history
maritime waves and monsoon memories
excavate tarnished love, restore eternally
Within ebb tides and pieces of eight in the sea.


Every child is an artist. The challenge is to remain an artist once he grows up.

                                            Pablo Picasso

Very much reminiscent of Long John Silver times of Treasure Island. Well done, vivid.
