The sky is starless in a black opal night, but the full moon is discontented. The insecure sun coveting moonlight, and ebony winds are disenchanted. Dark tides murmur within cold-blooded seas as emerald seaweed clings to the shore. The cold dark waves beckon and tease, while a fabled nymph seduces deaths door. Upon a sunken vessel of pleasures, is a harbor in the deep sea trenches Skeletons in an ocean of treasures, blood rubies, and bones of pirate wenches. A beacon light warns of treacherous shoals. within bleak ocean of lost phantom souls. ~Victoria~ I was adored once too. William Shakespeare |

Ah, this reminds me of the Greek mythology story of the sirens, the sea nymphs who lured sailors to their death with bewitching songs. Actually I prefer your version best, Victoria. Loved this verse, I guess because of the pirate's wenches. Hah! quote: ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways . . . ~*~ |
