A Pirate's Plunder

The Last Plunder

Wrath fell upon her causing a chaos within the winds

Destined to cause terrorizing tsunamis without his heart in her hands

Screaming and lashing

Tantrums formed where peace once existed

He was hers and no one could harm him

Life no longer was sustainable in this realm

She feared he no longer knew who he was nor where he had been

She tarried along in a search in hopes he heard her hymns and lulls

Treacherous havoc would fall upon anyone intersecting

Storms and seas raged about as she prayed for his return

Plundering the rest upon the rocks of the shoreline

Pulsing about with no direction

Because they stole the light glimmering brightly tucked within her

She once guided them home to safety

Now she was aching and mourning his loss

Where was he

Did he meet sudden demise amongst them

She still felt his spirit for faith was all she had left

Together they where to conquer darkness

Anyone who intervened was to be swept out to sea

After setting the world around him ablaze

He found her and suddenly the chaos subsided

Checking for wounds she searched him over

He had been aching for they ripped at his heart

Slashed and serrated every inch of the very muscle sustaining life

He placed it back in her hands to ensure the safe keeping

Frantically she began healing and mending the frazzled heart

Together they then submerged leaving the world ablaze

The life they knew sunk as they plunged deeper into the abyss

Life had a meaning once more

The cleanse began as the danced through the riptides

She gave him a breath once more as they resurfaced

To only realize his tethered heart was shredded beyond repair

The oxygen she heaved was no longer what could sustain him

He didn’t want to breathe if she wasn’t around

He clawed through the crowds searching her out

Hold me once more for this means eternal love

This was his last plunder until he rested©
