A Voyage to Remember
The day that we left port, to new horizons we would sail
Knowing the
dangers ahead, seafarers in the end we would prevail
Our journey
from the Highlands from Inverness my home town
To Brazil in South
America a new life to settle down
With charts of old we sail the
seas
Passing the Antialtair Seamount with hardly a breeze
Our
destination set, half way through our trip
Bridgetown, Barbados, on
my elegant ship
We noticed a change a difference, on these high
seas
Many nautical miles I've sailed but I've never seen ones like
these
The sky had turned a colour I'd never seen before
Sporadic
luminescent blues, like the beaches of the Azores
Our lookout
suddenly shouts, dark shapes drift in the clouds
Before too long
there is screaming, even the men cry loud
Swooping winged
creatures descend, mouths agape with luminescent blues
Their tails
whipping the swells, lacerating the waves we sail through
For
many hours they probed as they swooped, a blue ball hovering over my
ship
This is certainly a voyage to remember, to our new life on this
trip
We finally reach Bridgetown, Barbados, my family and crew
still in fear
When we sighted this land in the sun, we were
deafened by our cheers
We reported in to the authorities, our run
in with creatures unknown
They mentioned the Bermuda Triangle, and
we were not alone
They have many reporting such as we, even
fleets disappearing from view
To reach here as we have done, we are
lucky, just one of a few
We thanked them for their assistance, as
we set sail for our journeys end
To Vitoria a city so new, to our
sawmill, our new life, Amen
As our world around us grew open,
more tales and stories were told
Conclusions were never developed,
maybe one day it will all unfold
When the Red Rose was Released
She sits in her room alone and waiting
Bursting to bloom is her anticipating
This girl so young just a teenager at heart
One day to adventure for her life to kick start
She grew up reserved never venturing out
Believing she was ugly her mind so in doubt
Boyfriends she's never had close friends kept at bay
No childhood deserves this not growing up to play
Then out of the blue to the school ball she is asked
Her mind now in circles showing it's protective mask
The night arrives, in turmoil she sits waiting
So beautifully dressed, soon to be dating
Her apprehension runs riot, her life crying for change
To live so normal and rid this inner derange
As she turns to the door her eyes starting to tear
A glow lights the room as a beautiful red rose appears
Slowly she turns as she captures the sight
This flower so red emitting this light
This beauty of nature with it's petals so bloomed
Radiate as they grace around her bedroom
At the top of the stairs soon she'll walk down
Into the arms of her date, wearing the most beautiful gown
To the school ball she will go, with her chaperone
When the red rose was released, no longer she'll be alone
Sakura Angel
A lone butterfly 
dances amidst blossoming
pink Sakura trees ~"~
Whilst a dark angel transforms
in true metamorphosis ~*~
