A sea of sadness swells.

The saddest pirate for all to see

shipwrecked by his misery 

 his sorrow sails on clouds of tears

treasured sadness drowns on ocean fears.

A beaten face traces a weathered map

as the ravages of time close that gap.

no longer the boy that held such joy

a ghostly pirate screams ahoy!

Honest and true words written my friend. It is sad we become old. When the mind and heart learn sadness and disappointment. Thank you Andrew for sharing the amazing poetry.
