"The Kraken's Kiss: A Pirate's Love Song"

The plank creaks low, a shadow's hungry maw,
As Captain Lovebird, with a gilded claw,
Demands a verse, where heart and horror twine,
A love-sick ballad, steeped in rum and brine.
 
No gentle swain, with roses 'neath his arm,
But gnarled corsairs, where dark desires swarm.
One-eyed Jack, with teeth of tarnished gold,
And Peg-Leg Pete, whose tales are fiercely told. 
Their faces etched with storms and savage  nights,
Yet in their souls, a flickering love light ignites.
 
"Sing of the sea," they roar, with breath like gales,
"Where mermaids weep, and ghostly lovers wails!"
 
A love like kraken's grip, a fierce embrace,
Where barnacle-kissed lips find tender space.
A stolen glance, 'midst cannon's fiery breath,
A whispered vow, defying cruelest death.
 
The ocean churns, a canvas dark and vast,
As tales unfold, of passions built to last.
A siren's call, a haunting, sweet refrain,
Where love and madness dance in hurricane. 
For even pirates, with their hearts of stone,
Yearn for a touch, a love they've never known.
 
But hear ye now, a twist within the tale,
A hidden heart, behind the fearsome veil. 
For Captain Lovebird, with his Dior scent,
A secret longing, heaven-sent.
He seeks a love, beyond the pirate's creed,
A soul to mend, a heart to plant a seed.
 
A poet's tear, a verse that cuts the night,
Unveils a truth, in flickering candle light.
That even beasts, with scars and blackened eyes,
Hold fragile dreams, beneath the stormy skies.
And love, like treasure, buried deep and vast,
Can bloom anew, when pirate hearts are cast.
