Marooned in the isles of my own madness
Painfully mitigating my emotions on enemies until I choke on their sadness
Drifting and wondering if the wind brings you the words of my story
Or does avoiding me all together bring you glory
Only thing I ever wanted to fight was your woes and the agony of your past
Although I'm not the best to look at it, I assure we'd have a blast
It wasn't your beauty that in my heart you did hook me
But mostly because you are as wild as the sea
Imperfect and wonderful,  I want your strength next to me
This I have wished once for every ripple in the water
Just once hear the lonely call of the otter

The Captain peers through the bottom of his shot glass before slamming it down
You can tell he is choosing what story will be birthed from that long frown
The following is the recollection of his words to the best that my memory serves
In all my years of sailing this big pond, there is only one man who stomps on my nerves
He works not for the Navy, any country, or for any amount of wealth
Fighting purely for fun, despite his failing mental health
Dreams of many men have been crushed beneath his knuckles
But to him they are just another notch in his buckle
Once I had him dangling from a rope over sharks hungry for his skin
Greedy for that last look of desperation, but I was met only with a grin
Mentally sunk, he broke my arm then slammed me into the deck
He even requested that we do this again before leaving me in that wreck
Captain Rootjack slowly rubbed his arm before tapping on the bar for another drink
That smile is so vile I still lie at night only able to think
What madness drives that lad to the sea
Who or what is he trying to flee
I always hope, but never expect to see him again for another fight
Oh what I'd give to choke that grin out with all my might
But we all know the fate that awaits the Otter
Tis his own that will finally send him to the deepest of waters

Constriction
So tight that it is suffocating my conviction
I can feel the knot, but my eyes can not find the chain
Is it around my neck, heart, or brain
Hysteria is dripping from my pores
That ******* anchor is dragging me to the ocean floor
Where is it tethered
Why am I breaking
This isn't even the worst storm I've weathered
My heart quakes to the sound of the deck the chain is raking
Rapidity
I'm being consumed by my own stupidity
Grip my hands even if the fingers you clinch crack
Because once I go under, I'll never come back
To whom am I even giving this commmand
You are back in the forest loving the land
Needed elsewhere was your love, you had no room left to care
For that reason is why this is my burden to bare
Sinking
Oxygen fleeting, only a few moments left of thinking
No hope of those tender hands reaching me
Endless gravity escorting me to the abyss
Only regret is that we couldn't share one last cup of tea
Stay ignorant of my fate because I am nothing of worth to miss

Tell yourself it will just be a few drops
Now you don't have the strength to reach for the mop
When will it or I be enough
Quickly, with your hands, make a cuff
Please reach your fingers inside
Keep pushing until with my bone it collides
Whisper your fears into the blood, I promse you can confide
Gnash your teeth on the veins to see what else the body hides
Whatever you find, either love or cast it out
Already know your choice, due to myself being a lout
No anger nor despair
Like the wind, this too will blow through my hair
The same current that carries you to a new story
Will oxidize my scene that was once gorey

1.
Mango the Mighty
Terror of the seven seas
Pleased to meet thee

2.
Veins are not so deep
They are easy to purge
Only the soul keeps

3.
I miss my roses
But the ice preserves my mind
Joy in all seaons

4.
Slay them with silence
Your voice would only heal them
Just watch with delight

5.
She is calling me
Beaming light through the night sky
Reaching for the ground

6.
Journals for my thoughts
Divided into small parts
Reflecting Madness

7.
I take from nature
But it is only a loan
Soon it will take me

8.
The red mage shall wait
My spell will consume your heart
The fire can wait

9.
The tide takes my fear
The wave takes my earthen flesh
Just a skeleton

10.
Grab my shaking hand
Look past the mistakes I've had
Draw what is inside

11.
Sleep is a hobby
Some make it seem like a sport
I just like to snore.

12.
Catch me with your eye
Self esteem is never mine
Same goes for your love

13.
His will never dies
Buried along with his smile
Thousands grin harder

14.
Why do I sail on
Treasure is not what I seek
Greater things exist

15.
I must end this flow
Before I show my **** soul
The skin is too soft

Known across the seas as an adrenaline ******
Back home he was an academic flunky
Made famous for his seemingly infinite luck
Those who made his acquaintance considered him a schmuck
Owner of more scars than there is time in the night to tell
Females from his past pray for him to be swiftly dragged to hell
His only consistent lover resides in the starry sky
Even through the dripping blood, she still stares him in the eye
There are times where he simply and violently loses hope
But for this, his lover's cold embrace puts his heart back into pace
Although he is on his own for the waves running down his face
The brain behind the two sockets is stuck in an emotional rut
Ephemerally protected by a revolving door that he can't shut
Shielding the public from all these feelings by living on a whim
The sea quakes when it sees that horrifying grin
Seething with convulsing ire that no crew's captain can match
Heart reeking of despair from years chasing a feline he can't catch
**** it all back in, it is no longer he; only I
Apologies for the temporary eruption
The long term lack of your sweet fragrance often causes this corruption
If it is what you want, tell me to get lost because I know you aren't shy
At the end of our once in a moon meeting you can barely say goodbye
I'm not offering to be strong for you, but to be strong together
Side by side, there is no storm we couldn't weather
No force needed, our hearts will simply dance
Just once give our love a chance
No longer do I want to say I, let's make it we
Be my pirate empress and together we can sail the sea

Sanguine eyes
Kept inside the greatest treasure cove to never be discovered
Every soul in her path is hers to take
Letting you slip between her ****** fingers isn't her  mistake
Eventually your fate will catch you
Tuning her dull cutlass against your spine
Once in a moon, her melody will be in pitch with her steel
Not now though, she has waterlogged dreams to ****
