The Whyda


Ethereal inscriptions crafted her bow

Gladiator at best, she craved the sea in sleek designs

Galavanting; a prestigious Stallion

annihilating every frostbitten wave

leaving only atrocious particles in the wake

Inhibiting her cabins -- were African slaves

Basking in her eminent rails, split of ebony gold

Forever holding a story untold

Foggy haze and a blazing maze

Blackend sails ambuscade her entirety

Arising from the Cimmerian shade

writhe an eerie essence

Incandescent Serpents waltz in the vicinity of her shadows

Twisting, twirling and tormenting her soul

Plundering her encumbrances.

Sam Bellmany,

a pirate so bold

now wallons in ascendancy

and names her

The Whydah.

Luminescent sails glint under starlights

Calumniating under stridulous winds

Masts break and the Whydah shakes

Divine moments intensifying

Companions; turn cannibalistic, as

Black gales cascade over rustic rails

For

cataclysmic currents feast on her hull....

Sciamachy awakens

Catsciamaic in the dark

Like carbonate to oxalate

the Whyda dissipates

Hearts stricken by an unforgivable bow

She prompades to her death in a glory ablaze

Withholding a treasure that will never age
