The Glorious Pirate


She is a giving goddess and yet she is a thief
 exploring her horizon she will mightily spreads her wings
claiming all she touches and enlightening what holds her
she is a true paradox that no poetics can defer
she has a furious dance but never breaths a sigh
for all her truth unfolds on the kindling of a lie.

  2. I like the paradoxical attribute you refer here. I actually believe this is what guarantees balance in life. =)

    This latest piece on (Fire), is on fire. Your last line "for all her truth unfolds on the kindling of a lie" is genius.
