La Sirena Varada by Erika .
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

Mon amie, c’est tres belle. Je suis heureux.
Your work is as exceptional as ever, if not more so. I love this.
Wow, you don’t know how much your words mean to me. I was really doubting this drawing, I thought it was too simple. But to hear that it’s exceptional, well that just makes my day.
Thank you for the poem, for your support and encouragement.
