The Pirates Mistress

Sails are tight,

the wind rushing us on our way

I looked at you standing at the helm,

 quietly keeping her into the wind

I feel the mistress here,

 your heart is hers,

I the stolen moments.


Your barking orders send men scurrying,

 you’re in your element

The sounds of the rigging,

 the ship cutting through the waves

 salty spray, all part of a Pirates life,

My Pirate.

When your spell at the wheel is done,

 you give her to another

coming to me for a lil' while.

I cherish these times …few as they are

For it's then that those hands

 that steered us straight and true

Now, drive me insane.

The lips that moments ago barked orders,

 now whisper words of love

 into the softness of my neck

Oh, Pirate, my pirate,

 take me to paradise

You chart the course on my body

with your hands and lips

Anchor here ...in the solitude of my love.
