Pirate Sonnet #5

The swivelled metal in this compass remains pointless,

while seas twixt us are becalmed.

The horizon in you eye is boundless,

When the gun in your mouth are unarmed.

The treasure you seek ever hidden will be, if all of your charts stay unlearned.

And what use is a place to sail home to once free, if all of your bridges are burned?
