Morning in the Captain's Cabin

Author: Sesen  Date:   01-16-12 17:01 A free-style poem...in words and pictures. A feast for the senses...the sights, smells, sounds, and feelings when waking in the Captain's cabin... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Morning in the Captain’s Cabin Dreaming – standing at the helm – waves crashing over the rails - The Captain holds the wheel with one hand – his compass in the other – The Black Pearl forges through the storm – conquering each wave. I have no fear…I have faith in my Captain and our ship…I stir in my sleep - And awake – warmth envelops me – I feel the rocking of the Black Pearl - Covers thrown back, a cascade of hair lifts from around me. The warmth I’ve felt all night, gradually leaving me - His body untangling from mine – my Captain is awake. The sun is just a faint glow in the east, candles and a lantern are lit – A drawer opens and closes - a closet door – Footsteps on the wood floor – and then a soft whisper – My Captain’s voice – “Darlin’, time to get up.” The rustle of clothes hastily put on – tying of a sash – A blur of a red bandana in the dim light – The smell of leather, boots and belts – a buckle fastened – Heavy boots walk on polished oak, “Rise and shine, my sweet.” The rattle of a set of keys, a compass cover is opened – then closed. In the grey light, a hat drops on the floor – then is picked up. The cabin door unlatched – morning light floods in – “Sun’s up, luv” – my Captain steps out onto the deck. Voices from the world outside – “Status, Mr. Gibbs.” “Three degrees north - aye, aye Captain” – the Pearl's wood creaks. Footsteps pounding on the deck – the sound of spars moving, Sails dropping – my Captain’s command - “Make fast the moonraker!” Slowly I rise from our bed – the smell of my Captain’s skin still in the sheets. I smile – sweet, sweet memories of last night – then my feet on the cool floor. The cabin door swings open and my pirate enters – holding two steaming mugs – So handsome, so invigorating – so gallant – “Some coffee, luv?” My playful pirate hands me my robe – satin and lace looking odd in his strong hands. He smiles - with a stare far too passionate for the morning hours. A wink and a laugh – as warm as the sun…as he sits down to study his newest map. I lean over his shoulder – touch the sea spray on his dreadlocks – my sailor. Plans to make for the day - a chart prepared - his sword sharpened - - pistol cleaned - My Captain’s world - a world of sails and the sea - - maps and treasures – The sunshine - and the brisk wind, dreams - and desires - I awake to each morning, fresh from his embrace - - overjoyed to be the Captain’s lady.
