The Siren
By Rain
June 16th 2005
Funny, who think talent drips from fingertips
Like blood from cut fingers run.
When moisture felt is truly venom
Running from forked tongue you use
Speaking that which holds no ground
Against those that have never wronged you!
What drives your evil black heart?
From where did you get your dark plots?
You sit there posing seductively. Luring lovers in
Yet quietly behind those eyes,
the poisoned dagger twitches,
Do not listen to the Sirens song
I yell with all my breath
Yet deafened ears my voice does fall on
My love is lost to her…

Beautiful and clever, Rain. The last line in particular promotes question. At first I thought you may have written this from a male perspective but…there are many other interpretations.

Very pointed a heart felt…I like it, Rain. You have got a way with words and pictures! Keep on, create, and be true to yourself! All the best, always!

this reminds me of Odysseus plugging his ears so as not to hear the call of the sirens…..and he resisted temptation so as not to crash his ship against the rocks – where the voices came from…..this is a different perspective – yours- a woman’s!
i like it!

Thank you so much everyone for your kind and encouraging comments.
Helen, yes I do have this posted in a few other places, my 360, flickr, and myspace, possibly msn spaces too but not sure on that one. Thank you :)
I LOVE your take on this Suzanne, I grew up living all those stories in my mind, wishing they would never end.
