Pirate's Revenge

A raven beauty was she-
as she stood in the life boat.
Watching the pirate ship still blazing.
A sweet smile of revenge on her face.

The wind blew across the ocean
and blew her black hair back from her face,
Not a trace of blush on her cheeks.
No tears from her blue eyes.

The burned wood was blistering.
She was a pirate Princess-
at least the men under her command
thought she was their pirate Princess.

These pirates had killed her parents,
her brothers, sisters and husband.
This is why she pretended to be-
one of them and gained their trust.

She was out for blood.
She had destroyed them
and loved shedding their blood-
as they bled like her family had.

Her work was done. She was ready to go home-
back to her daughter and high society life.
Her two year old daughter she needed to raise.
Revenge was so sweet and she had fooled those pirates.

Her pirate life behind her,
Her family's deaths avenged.
Back to her family mansion
and her life of high society.

The flowers she had planted-
were starting to blossom.
No one knew her secret.
Like the flowers, her life was a new beginning.
