The Siren’s Song

The Siren’s Song Image Credits: Ali Inay on Unsplash. Sing for me the siren’s songWhere the horizon meets the seaI collapse in anguish, for all my wrongsAre now revealed to meI kicked and screamed, begged and pleadedTo be released from my bondsI cursed my friends, for they are heathensFor they don’t hear the songO Sirens how your beauty strikes meHow sweet your voice sings You struck my heart with a bolt of lightningEnchanted by everythingMy friends ignore me, they look with sorrowAs though I were a failureI scream for more than the song of morrowOr the eulogy of the sailorI cried my last tear of electric lustTheir song fades in the windTo be burdened with truth, knowledge and trustTo become the Ithacan King Andrew Folkler
