The castaway

Sailor  on this ship, ploughing 

its furrow in the vast  ocean ,

sometimes,calm wave,like a lake 

barely shaken by the breath 

of an indulgent swell ...

And suddenly the spirits of the abyss

are unleashed,seized  with anger 

at the human who taunts  them !

Of a thousend sea serpents ,krakens,

snapping the vengeful  whips ! 

Me,standing  here ,drenched 

 in tears of salt and brutal sea spray ...

Mad poet begging for inspiration

in the element\'s  violence ...

Desperate lover of this indomitable force,

uniting me to this female fury ...

Shipwrecked in some sleepy tropics ,

 troubling geography of a mestizo girl...

I am on a quest for the treasure 

of an old captain forgotten by the admiralty ...

My lunar Lucy and her diamonds 

 in the depths of sunken titans ...

You ship ! my life on the unruly ocean

 of my  insatiable  mind !

 Words, finally tamed ,I smile at my destiny,

privateer, adventurer,navigator ,

between Amsterdam and a bottle of rum 

    forever this castaway ...
