Deck of memories
Moonlit sails on stranger tides
Journeys of freedom
Once haunted planks, now
Lost to Davy Jones locker
Left on unknown paths
With great looming masts
Left to the undiscovered
Truly abandoned
Marooned on a plain
Of endless sand, an island
Where Sparrow once lay
The world of the dead
Unlike familiar seas
Is plain lifeless
This Haiku poem is about the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Caribbean (Since, when i was twelve, i was a big fan of Pirates of the Caribbean :) ). It’s about the story and life of the ship and the journeys it has been through. A pirate and a ship is like a wolf and a pack brother. To a pirate, their ship is their life and only means of being a true pirate. Without it they are nothing but meaningless men, wondering on unknown shores. Everybody has something like this that means everything to them; that they’d die for, whether it’s a person or a valuable, everyone has something to live for. They become alive to you like a ship is alive to a pirate.
