La Sirena Varada

your song
ensnared me -
i was caught
from the first note
when you spun
your spell around me
and enmeshed me
in your dark enchantment

from across an ocean of sleep
you called to me
wove a web of wonders
‘round my heart
and i became tangled
in your net
of nightingale dreams

drawn to your heart’s sea
where you sat
a lone figure
on a storm-circled rock

la sirena varada
taking solace in solitude
you spin the strands of men’s fate
with words
and music

i am drawn to you
like a dying man to prayer
like a lover to silken sheets
like a moth to flame

and loving you
is like a dream

    Thank you, Butch. Indeed I am. I’ve written five pieces today, and designed one t-shirt. And I’ve still got one more poem to upload, as well as an unfinished essay titled “We Had a Dream”. Creativity flows.

    Great! The words are extremely soothing, luring and slightly dark…just the way I like a poem! I am interested in the sea and mermaids myself…
