crossed eye pirate    
sees things both ways  
covered with fur  
of a thousand tiny rabbits
to protect soft feelings  
held tightly in belly  
on long striders
he approaches
our lady of white sighs  
  
she lies quietly
bound hand and foot  
in purple and pink silk dreams  

sword drawn  
he makes the first cut
waits
as ruby wells up
wipes his hands on rabbit fur  
takes his prize  

no yo ho ho
no dead man’s chest
simply a silent lady
heart in the hands of a pirate
crosslights playing
on her empty breast

Hey Lady....They are so attractive, aren't they?  I think there is a heart under the scars of bravado.  Love the way of your words.

Hello Lady! This is quite mysterious.
And, yes, ladies do like the bad boys!
Well, kinda bad.

I read this last night, and was at a total loss for words. Sooo, I read it again today, and again, and again. All I know is this is impressive. You painted it so very vividly.
