Poisoning the soothsayers

I can hear the sirens
when they sing.
So melodic.
I wander this labyrinth
in search of the source.
This is music to me
It slows my ambitions
And any love I hold

I can hear the heavens
in this maze
I'm trapped!
I only wish
To find the source
of these voices
That capture my ears

Like a viper
I obey these soothsayers
No jaded soul can resist
Perhaps they are my way out
And I can sit with them forever
As they sing my heart to rest

I'm getting closer
I can feel their voices
hit my chest Harder
Such percussion.
I may be a fool
I can't help but find them

They must be beautiful
Indelicate angels
Singing elegies of hope
At the edge of this realm
For all to hear

Alas!
I see their silhouettes
I approach them so peacefully
Smiling
Eased
I think I have found my sanctum
Lost without reason

Their voices change
A higher pitch as they see me
This is no song
They fear me!
I mean no harm!
I try to calm them
Useless.

I should have known
These hands were made to kill
I have no choice
They attack!
Through piercing screams
I must cause bloodshed even here

I guess I'm just poison on the tongue...
