pirates and their silver blooded sea for @thewinedarksea

i. Tattered sails with veins of gold, burn in a sea of silver
  Sea foam colored in the ashes of bones taunts the mortals
  Who dare tempt the savage waves below. Saltwater hearts are 
  Churning (a storm brewing in their thunder-riddled chests.)
ii. Spirits with iridescent scales shimmer just beneath the
  Water’s surface, can you hear their hisses? Singing illecebrous
  Sea shanties of sailors and their lovers. Don’t be fooled, 
  These tales all end in jewel-tongued betrayal; revenge kissing
  The horizon, as madness seeps between sunken barnacle ribs.
iii. A pirate’s heart is made of three things; a ship to follow their
  Blood stained map, a compass to keep their sea kissed souls 
  From sailing into myth-laced waters (the monsters there have crowns
  Of teeth and thrones of god-bled ichor), and an empty chest with
  Ghost treasure to keep their lips coated in the taste of wild desire
