Love, Like A Pirate

 

 

 

Treasure chest

flung wide open

Or locked up tight

as the lips of

a spy

Love lives in my treasure

chest

I can share it wide or I

can lock it deep

inside

 

Deep and wide

or locked up

inside

Why do I feel the need

to hide

When love, like a pirate

comes creeping

Wanting all the treasure

I've been keeping

 

My heart....a relic of

grand worth

It's been with me

since the day

of my birth

Beating in my chest

full of the treasures

of time

My memories, my moments

My watercolor

masterpieces....painted

with a magic brush

Lifting colors

from a

palette of pure

love

 

Deep and wide

or locked up

inside

Why do I feel the need

to hide

When love, like a pirate

comes creeping

Wanting all the treasure

I've been keeping

 

Perhaps I turn the tides

What if I invite love in?

I've never tried

I'll fling my chest open

And as... my the gold glints and

gleams in the sun

The pirate love can come

in the day full of light

Instead of stealing in late

at night

Then, I will be awake

not sleeping

Ready to share the bounty

I've been keeping

 

Open wide

No longer locked up

inside

Ain't no need

to hide

When love, like a pirate invited

lands on my shore

I will share all the treasure

I have in store
