I once was a pirate, terror at sea Sailed past all currents, tamed the fiercest beasts, Kissed the wild waves, achieved unmatched feats Mortals shivered, the o-cean; scared of me! Cursed was I, heart a lock; needed a key, Tasked to venture where even God retreats! My crew fled- left to face my last defeat. Drew my sword- if I were to die, Let be! Long hours I searched, until at last, drew nigh A maiden, one unlike I'd ever seen Each breath, each glance drew me ever closer Realised there was no key, it was a lie, Drained my soul, to claim me was Death quite keen, The Siren sang death, The pirate's wrath; over.

The Accursed Sea
I once was a pirate, terror at sea Sailed past all currents, tamed the fiercest beasts, Kissed the wild waves, achieved unmatched feats Mortals shivered, the o-cean; scared of me! Cursed was I, heart a lock; needed a key, Tasked to venture where even God retreats! My crew fled- left to face my last defeat. Drew my sword- if I were to die, Let be! Long hours I searched, until at last, drew nigh A maiden, one unlike I'd ever seen Each breath, each glance drew me ever closer Realised there was no key, it was a lie, Drained my soul, to claim me was Death quite keen, The Siren sang death, The pirate's wrath; over.
A sonnet that tells the tale of a wrathful and quite powerful Pirate who is tasked to venture somewhere to fill hus heart which feels empty, but little does he know, a Siren awaits him.
