Caged in a prison, high on a hill, actions ensued but didn’t quite fit the bill Words of not-always transformed promises to forever, Side by side, naught to hide, despite the cloudy weather A friend, a rock, a ship almost wrecked was looking to dock Alone in the harbour, under the moonlight, Ashamed, The half-wreck shone bright for what it was famed. Tough stains were covered, remains left undiscovered to be smothered by another Heart still full of what was before, keen, loveful pursuers already knocking at the door Cabin wide open: “Ahoy mateys! Ahoy!” She soon set sail with the innocent boy. Tides were rolling on peacefully by, some of them were low tides but mainly they were high, When in need there was a shoulder upon which to cry And the girl thought the boy would help her get by. Way out at sea on a tropical isle the boy showed the girl daemons not seen in a while Opened her up and dove right in, illustrated the flaws of reacting to whims Open Broken Alone at sea, the boy turned his back as she fell to her knees Floundering, drowning, thrashing in the waves The girl succumbed to what her daemon craves Underwater tears remain unobserved A not-so-sly Fox spoke of acts undeserved An unsure girl, curled up, abashed Covered up the act and watched her daemon be tamed A ship in the darkness, a ship under the stars Saved the girl and craved the girl and hoped she knew right And Oh! How she flourished in this dependable new light “Love and peace, me mateys!”: a new reason to fight The boy on his island, soon to return, Will see that the shipwreck upon which they met, though not yet quite perfect Trawls the coast to find an isle of its own And though different to first-envisaged, Bristol shall be its home.

The Shipwreck
Caged in a prison, high on a hill, actions ensued but didn’t quite fit the bill Words of not-always transformed promises to forever, Side by side, naught to hide, despite the cloudy weather A friend, a rock, a ship almost wrecked was looking to dock Alone in the harbour, under the moonlight, Ashamed, The half-wreck shone bright for what it was famed. Tough stains were covered, remains left undiscovered to be smothered by another Heart still full of what was before, keen, loveful pursuers already knocking at the door Cabin wide open: “Ahoy mateys! Ahoy!” She soon set sail with the innocent boy. Tides were rolling on peacefully by, some of them were low tides but mainly they were high, When in need there was a shoulder upon which to cry And the girl thought the boy would help her get by. Way out at sea on a tropical isle the boy showed the girl daemons not seen in a while Opened her up and dove right in, illustrated the flaws of reacting to whims Open Broken Alone at sea, the boy turned his back as she fell to her knees Floundering, drowning, thrashing in the waves The girl succumbed to what her daemon craves Underwater tears remain unobserved A not-so-sly Fox spoke of acts undeserved An unsure girl, curled up, abashed Covered up the act and watched her daemon be tamed A ship in the darkness, a ship under the stars Saved the girl and craved the girl and hoped she knew right And Oh! How she flourished in this dependable new light “Love and peace, me mateys!”: a new reason to fight The boy on his island, soon to return, Will see that the shipwreck upon which they met, though not yet quite perfect Trawls the coast to find an isle of its own And though different to first-envisaged, Bristol shall be its home.
