A/N: Written for the ten year anniversary of The Curse of the Black Pearl. Characters and plot belong to Disney. Enjoy!
Sailing for ten years
With the wind and the tide,
Filling her sails
And still on her side.
A damned ship she once was,
Known for her black sails.
The captain and crew
Had a curse that ailes
Those who take the gold
From the chest of Cortes.
"I feel nothing,"
The cursed captain says,
"Not the wind on my face,
Nor the spray of the sea."
This was Barbossa's curse
For undead was he.
The last piece of gold
To be restored to the chest,
Had been sought for for years
For it, would put the curse to rest.
But the Pearl's rightful captain
Seeking revenge for his mutiny,
Obtained the last piece
And killed Barbossa ruthlessly.
For, the last piece returned,
Lifted the curse
And undead no longer,
Jack shot him and set course.
But with danger on the horizon
And his newly won ship,
Jack stayed in the shallows
To avoid death's grip.
