A novella ~ "Privateer's Desire: Stealing Romance"

Sailing Together


My love sails with me
Across the ocean of dreams,
Sails filled with desires.

Seeking foreign lands
And wild and exotic shores;
Sometimes, paradise.

An adventure shared,
That ebbs and flows as the waves
Crashing on the shore...

Aye! take the helm, lass,
My broad hand covering yours
The ship! She's alive!

Eagerly leaping,
On watery crest and trough
Shore to distant shore

Carrying our hearts
Vibrant in the day or night
Sailing ever on

Smiles, broad hair flying
The gulls cry loudly overhead,
Salt spray in the air

Is nothing finer?
A-sea with my hearts desire
Pray, do not wake me!

My lips touching hers
Her neck, her shoulder, her hand,
Breathing in her scent

My hand rests upon
Her waist, her curving fine hips
A breathtaking form.

Melodious voice
And hearty musical laughter
Brilliant and bold

And through stormy seas
We sail with courage and trust
With our hearts and souls

Together we sail on
Finding new lands, adventures
Skillfully and wise

We sail ever on
Through mystery we will sail
Finding great treasures

The greatest of which
Only we know where they are
And what, why, and how

Smile with me, my love
Savor all the adventures
And relish our time

After lots of determination this thread has been digitally remastered, just in time for the anniversary of the day the story ended. All links work again. Hope you folks enjoy, with the compliments of myself and cb. :)

If you have not read this silly little romp, or if you read it in a hurry the first time without bothering to click the links for the sound effects or the musical accompaniment offered with some of the posts, may we suggest you do so now in the tail end of winter (gray and cold in many parts of North America). With a lot of effort, mostly by Mr T, all of the links now work better than ever, and should be stable in perpetuity. The music selections no longer require you to also open youtube.

It has been a year since we completed this goofy romance (one of the things we were going for here was to see just how outrageously goofy and corny we could make it). We are immensely gratified that folks seem to keep finding this thread are are still reading it. Thank you. We had imagined that some of the things that we tried here with this thread - images paired with a story, and sound effects too - might inspire some other creative litsters to try something similar. So far, our effort seems to be singular on the PG.

To anyone who finds this thread and enjoys it - please do so, as Mr T says, with our compliments.

we sail these seas together
and now new paths to tread
I lean into a surety
that our adventures are not yet over
 
Late to the party, but enjoying catching up.
