"malaku" poems
Everything I heard amazed me,
The treasure fleet's sixty two ships,
commanded by a powerful ******
Gone, he was captured,
he was castrated,
three jewels, from a dying Prince.
The Cheng ** had sailed from Malaku Island;
sight of flags, sound of bells,
guided them to Calicut.
Deny the social scientist,
cultural baggage prevails,
abstract freedom, kindling of change.
Moaning monsoon winds linger,
the allure of sparkling moons wax,
and dormant black seas swell.
The noble adventure of death begins,
where the legacy of leadership ends,
and stars trust him with their thoughts.

Everything I saw amazed me,
I had become the reluctant crusader,
sifting through mud and mail.
Gone, without the grimace,
sore eyes saw
real money from a dying hand.
The Cheng ** had sailed to Malaku Island;
amidst stacked stone columns,
questions linger with dinosaurs gone.
All that is left for you
will be artillery & rhetoric,
my thrill to the world.
Take my Princess down,
she won't wait while comfort wanes,
and dormant creatures rise.
The priceless adventure of youth begins
where the legacy of leadership ends,
and stars trust her with their fantasies.
