Standing astern with backlit sky
Amidst the clouds and rain,
Her beauty struck my one good eye
And gave me hope to love again.
Her hair, not blonde - nor was it red
'Twas somewhere in between,
The beauty in her corset full
I vowed to make her my pirate queen.
The sun that shines is ne'er as bright
As the smile on her radiant face,
The way she stands with sword in hand
So graceful in leather and lace.
I'd walk a plank for this lovely
Dressed in red and black,
And fight the Kraken bare-fisted
Just to get her back.
Six feet deep is my incision
Trapped in my heart, my barless prison,
This lust, like vampiric addiction
For my Shannon, my pirate queen...
