' the Siren Odyssey

Once, A Time, I Was Accused To Be Like A Siren of The Sea As Ones In Ulysses’ Odyssey but, No … That Was Not Me … Those Sirens, Lured To Death They Were Lethal Temptresses Like Myth of Cursed Lilith Or Like Real-Life, Eve Transgressed They, With Beauty, and Beckoning Ropes Hung Bound, Beguiled-Men in Rose-Blossom Arms And Spoke with Honeycomb-Tongue But Whose Hearts, Held Hidden Harm-Swarms … No … I Should Not Be Compared To Those, with Honor So Blurred I Have Only Shared and Cared and Bared … So, In What Way, Have I Erred ? It Took Many Years To Be And Much Salt-Water To Rinse Free From What Others Say and See And Drown Out Complexity Yea, I Do Call, I Do Agree … but, I Sing To The Brave and Eternity And When I Pray … It Is Holy And for A Soul's Safety, Only Oh Yes, I Whisper, Clean and Sweetly And My Tone Thrills or Trills So Softly And My Voice Can Arch With Ecstasy Or Timbrel in Throes – Dawn to Dusk, Sultry And I Speak Words, As Perfumed Nard Speak Words, That Leave A Silken, Silver Cord Or Speak Words of Double-Bladed Sword … After All, I Am A Female-Bard And I Want To Learn and Recite More Victories And Teach Each Other’s Verbatim-Stories Discover Each Other’s Verbal-Mysteries And God and My Lord’s Vocal-Oratories And With The Moon, As Symbol-Shield of Light Yes, I Rise To Conquer Oblivion-Nights I Keep Faith and Courage, In Sight Aglow for Good-Guys and Cowboy-Knights I’m A Sensual-Woman, and of Sacred-Things I’m Emotional, Yet … Aim For Deep-Think and Dreams Now, Some Called The Lord A Glutton, for Eating and Drinking ( Matt. 11: 19 ) So Some Call Me A Siren, ‘Cause They Want Me To Stop Speaking … But, Worthy, Be The Ear, That I Speak To And Shyly Cry and Whisper … My Secrets To And If Only A True-Higher-Calling, Will Do Then, I’ll Sound, That Siren, For You … This Is The Siren Song, You Hear Not One, For You To Fear My Volume, is not Too Loud, But Clear Singing, Avoid Shadows, Avail Cheer ! ! No … I’m Not Some Fish-Tale Mermaid of The Sea More Like A Lighthouse, Guiding To Rock, See: ( Deu. 32: 4 ) Ever Glowing, Ever Orbing … Audibly … The MoonBee - Siren Odyssey Once, A Time, I Was Accused To Be Like A Siren of The Sea As Ones In Ulysses’ Odyssey but No … That ' Isn’t ' Me …
