I'm no pirate

(Víctor Lemes)

From a distance
I saw you going down
In a swirl
Of paradigms.

Your inner-self
Was sinking deep
Within the waves.

I couldn't see it
And just stand still;
You could've been me.

So I sailed to you,
To soon discover
You drowning.

I offered you a rope
Thus, I could pull you up;
You see, I don't know
How to swim...

The moment I decided
To bring you up aboard
Of my ship, a creature
Underneath the water appeared:

A mermaid had rescued you.
She'd saved you before I did.

You're such a treasure that
I shall keep you on my only chest.
