Abandon Ship Quickly headed for the bottom, wreckage floating everywhere, a tidal wave abeam had caught'em, sailing ships in fortune's snare. "Abandon ship", but not your friends, the sailor's bond nothing can break! Terror destroys honorable ends, monsters in seconds, pals forsake. "Curse you, Matthew, for a coward, do you want to live forever, a tangled mate, leaving for'ard, snared in cordage none can sever?" Doomed to hear it, damned to wander throughout the endless march of time, what detergent would help launder recall's fabric of heinous crime? What could serve as mitigation to release the troubled mind, Justice asked for litigation by the accuser of mankind? Unthinkable, let a friend die, despicable to run away, unbearable, that tortured cry across these years, day after day. --H. Arlequin . . . .

Really great read. Very sad, but poignant. Good to see you here, I am still getting to know my way around, wild is a lot easier since it is smaller. *S* |

This could be a portrayal of real life, not just a shipwreck, this was neat! Thanks X ------------------ "We have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night" (Tombstone epitaph of two amateur astronomers) |
