"Song for the South-central Siren"

Hi! As I've been mentioning lately, I am going through a period of change, as an artist. The changes have recently gone from my visual to my written expression. I tried doing some new things with my poetry & wanted to share a new piece & poem. ...both are a bit different from "my usual". The piece is titled "Sixteen Kisses (The Siren from South-central)" & the poem is titled "Song For A Siren". Hopefully you enjoy them & come back soon for more Bsombin'! 

"Song For A Siren"

Left in a storm

Afloat on a boat

Lost & alone on a 

Violent sea...

When, suddenly 

He was found by a 

Siren who began to

Sing seductively

As he drifted,

He became enchanted 

By the siren who's 

Song was so lovely

So, to set 

Himself free

He began to sing, too,

& the siren stopped singing, reluctantly

As he sang,

The storm settled;

There was a calm on the sea; & 

The siren swam silently 

He sang,

"Siren, kind siren,

With beauty & grace,

Please be kind & show me mercy!"

The siren then smiled &

Drew close to him, 

To say,

"You sing beautifully!" 

"...But, I regret to inform you...

Someone should have warned you

...Sinking you is 

My duty"...

Yet, he continued 

His song & kept 

Sailing on,

As the siren went along patiently

He sang,

"Siren, kind siren,

Please give ear to my plea &

Do not deliver me to tragedy!"

The siren then smiled,

As she drew close, 

To say,

"You sing beautifully!" 

"...Yet, I regret to inform you...

Someone should have warned you

...Sinking you is 

My duty"...

Yet, he continued

To sing, & kept on sailing,

With the siren still waiting 

patiently 

...And, so they went, 

Back & forth, & he continued on course

Till he reached

The end of his journey

Shocked, the siren said,

"How can this be,

Was your song really so strong that

It brought you home safely?"

His reply, "Not my song,

but faith & love for family!"

Then the siren turned back & 

swam away miserably
