Image for the poem Siren*

Siren*

She tries to lure me into the depths
Of the fiery jade blue water with
Her beauty. Each of her deep breaths

Become mine. She is a skillful wordsmith
With every haunting song and lyric that
Comes out of her. She is beyond a myth

And fiction. She is a gymnast and acrobat
With every fluid dance that has me entirely
Captivated. I forget about being in combat

Against her charms. Her skin, creamy ivory
And her hair just as smooth. Her penetrating
And deep gaze has me swimming quietly

To shore where she is always waiting
For me to join her. I am infatuated with her
Just like in every dream. She is baiting

Me with her loneliness. She is like liqueur,
Tempting and sweet to take in. She is a halo of
Light like an angel. She is a swirl and blur

Of colors reflected in the ocean waves. Her love
For the water is no different than mine. She is
A temptress and a fierce protector of every dove

Because they sing a song like she does
Because she is still searching for her soulmate,
A love she will always find within his

Or her heart. Only then will she feel the weight
Lift up and set her free like the dove she so
Wishes she could be. She will find her floodgate.
