Pirate Wraiths
When in the dark deserted mournful place
Dracula becomes very silent, cloud-choked
and drags eroded under black cliffs gone-
tired and lost through a salt-caked cry-
The seagulls linger on the moor and scours
shipwrecked souls and trap darker things-
and harbour their bloodlust seeping on the pier
Is this white wind guarding skeleton salt-air graves?
Ghost-sailors laugh at the secrets under their sea. . .
And pirates love wind mist chills found by Legends
