The Pirate and the Outlaw



It was a cool night upon my ship, the black pearl
When the gentle tide brought me a wonderful girl
A bonnie lass that had blue eyes crying in the rain
She said she was an outlaw and Lela was her name
I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, I said with a pirate smile
If it is freedom you seek, love, stay with me for awhile
She held my compass that pointed to her hearts desire
A unicorn appeared; I said this is all we require
Soon we took flight and found ourselves on dry land
Galloping near the sea on a beach of pristine white sand
Our journey took us to the air and through a waterfall
Flying like the wind riding a rainbow is all she recalled
Now we were back on the black pearl, Lela soon realized
Pirates and outlaws were the same just a different disguise
My heroes have always been cowboys, she heard the tune
Jack and Willie Nelson singing in the light of the full moon

Linda D. Blakely

I was born in West Virginia and raised in Kentucky. I've been writing poetry since high school and have been in many poetry circles on the internet. I am known in these circles as the "legendarylinda". I have won contests, received medals and many other merits for my poetry. I would love to travel and see the world. My hero is Jesus Christ. I wish to dedicate this book to my parents and all my friends everywhere in the world. ~Peace Legendary Linda more…
