The Sirens Song

Legends speak of banshees of the blue briny deep, whom cast bewitching Spells mesmerizing voice and song, beware youthful mariner for charms echoing Beauty, may cause deceptions fall from grace, nay naivety’s innocence Attracts creatures of passions folly! In the Grecian headwaters of historical mystery, these damsels of seduction Parlous feast on the souls of wayward men, who’s lustful desires are never Satisfied by honest women of proper barring, or noble birth! Blue eyed vixens with erotic convictions, are more to the liking of well Traveled men of ill reputes fashion, yet these lashes lusts are only After the flesh, bone and tasty marrow of the living, their bonus Is deserts just reward, thy very soul’s possession! Oh mother dearest, protect he the lads whom seek fortunes Favors by sails cast unto destiny’s distant shores, for beyond Lies the forbidden isles of temptation fiery, and none return From the aquatic wilderness alive or whole again! Mer-gypies nomadic beasts of reflected images of beauty, Clinging unto the rocky craggy shores beguiling the unwary Sailor, weaving enchantment’s enticing allure with promises Of pleasures beyond the mortal experience! Intensity’s emerald spheres pierce through the night, these Seekers of vulnerability’s sinful, prayer by the light of the full Moons illumination, that at sunsets rise no man or kindred’s Son, has gone missing beneath twilights mystical essence, Thus so be advised he must be lost at sea, is all that is said, To a broken hearted mother, and a sweet darling left behind! Cast off the docks of forget-me-knots remembrance, petals Of sorrows tears, rose colored floating diamonds shed by Longings embrace never to be fulfilled! On isolation’s distant beach the jackals gather in a Heckling breach delighting amongst the spoils of a Crimson feast, singing the voyagers swan song, Unto the cast a ways vanquished soul! Legends speak of banshees of the blue briny deep, whom cast bewitching Spells mesmerizing voice and song, beware youthful mariner for charms echoing Beauty, may cause deceptions fall from grace, nay naivety’s innocence Attracts creatures of passions folly!
