Ode to Siren
On the salty cool breath of a Monsoon’s eve
The echoes of your whispers are still carried to me
And my heart rebels
but my mind slightly starts to concede
And from my mouth unto the earth my song of woe is received
As it travels from the air, throughout the deeps of my leagues
Last night I dreamt of you, and yet still I believed
That you were immaculately carved to exist only for me
How naive?
From upon my seas ....
Still I called to thee...
An alluring and enchanting melody....
Even as dawn beckoned a new day to be
Lighting the ocean exposing all of me
Way down to the marrow of what “I” be
Like Indie Arie the, “Ready for love,” feeling takes over me
As all I can do is pray you, “Say Yes,” like Floetry
You’re in my veins like a brand new drug to me
With cravings stronger than heroin could ever be
My mind keeps going back to thoughts of, “we”
Which brings my mind to sensual thoughts of “he”
And drags my mind to impassive thoughts of “she”
But moreover my partial intrusion
No exposition needed to further delusions
Trust I’m thoroughly versed in this short story’s conclusion
And yet my receptors continue to scan
Where they just adjectives, verbs, and nouns from a decent man
Faded memories, and dreams influence decisions
That’s got my heart in stuck in this same position
Like a car with a blown up transmission
A final checkmate, or fatal vehicular collision
Of what I want, and what in my heart I know is to be
At first sight, I was especially drawn to thee.....
As the alluring mariner, I called you from the ship to my seas
As I moaned your name upon a lonely seductive breeze
Like a moth to a flame
Like a sunflower craves rain
But realistically the truth remains
What I desire whole-heartedly
Is something in this lifetime, that could never be
Truth be told we are in two different nautical leagues.
So skip straight to the credits on this love story
It ends with all guts, and no passionate glory
It always makes me sad
And wish for what she had
But no need to stay mad
Cause we’ll keep meeting every night on that astral plane
Dipping in and out of my sensual and sexual dreamscape
As Erykah Badu keeps singing in the background
About a love that didn’t work this time around
And to my oceans I will flee
And in my dreams I will see
What I wish was to be
And to my waters I will weep
My song will run deep
And be my ode to thee
As sorrows will sweep
Across every sea
And reach every league
All of eternity
On the salty cool breath of a Monsoon’s eve
The echoes of your whispers are still carried to me
And my heart rebels
but my mind slightly starts to concede
And from my mouth unto the earth my song of woe is received
As it travels from the air, throughout the deeps of my leagues
