Sail Away Ye Ol' Lover

Inspired by Jack Sparrow!!

Hearken t' me plea me fair beauty
I 'ave given ye me heart each time th' yellow sun rises
I 'ave ignored me mateys advice t' keep away from ye
'cause ye wonder in me mind than a cap'n lost at sea
Now no rum can quench th' pain o' ye ignorin' me
No wenches or bootey can feel th' void ye create in me
Let me ask ye, do ye find pleasure in me torture?
So sail away ye ol lover lest I drown 'n die in these waters

I loved it when I watched ye from a distance
Fer me feelin's towards ye were safely concealed
But ye said ye 'ave had yer spyglass upon me too
That from a distance ye were afeared ye were fallin' fer me
I sailed t' yer shore scourin' fer ye t' stretch ye me hand
Canât ye see I care nah fer me treasures but fer yer heart?
'tis harsh upon me t' pretend everyday that donât care about ye
Afore ye sink this galleon o' mine, sail away ye ol lover o' mine

How can ye be so beautiful yet so blind me ole lover?
How can ye pay attention yet nah hear a single word I speak?
'tis yer beautiful pebble colored eyes that I wants t' look into
'tis yer fair silk skin that I wants t' feel against mine
But Iâm jus' a smelly pirate wit' his rotten heart in jar
Always scourin' th' faces o' th' sea lookin' fer pleasures
Instead o' skewerin' me wit' yer frosted love
Bid me good-morrow 'n sail away ye ol lover

Author's Note

Okay i was watching Pirates of Caribbean and something hit me as i enjoyed the fancy Jack Sparrow...i thought how would it be if Jack Sparrow was heart broken? So this was inspired by the character and i wanted to try my hand on something out of ordinary...a heart broken pirate. Cheers and jolly Christmas ahead...

Ho Ho Ho and a bottle of rum - a poem with a style that exactly fits the content, the sign of a versatile and talented poet - Excellent.

[Michael G.]

Jack may well have uttered a line or two like these. I'll buy into them. Well done.

[CHRIS ANDES]

I can freely imagine Sparrow talking these lines of the poem
