A Siren sings
for her sailor to come
to feed her dying need
She sits on a rock
coral in her hair
voice carrying out
over the waves
Hands reach
gripping for hope
but always
falling short
Her sailor sits
on his battered cot
a song eternally
in his head
One he heard
many years ago
when his shipmates
all fell dead
A Siren sings
but no sailors come
The Siren dies alone

Author's Comments
This is a follow up piece to The Last Ship to Come In. However, the poem does not require you to read the prose work at all. This is by far my favourite poem I wrote this year.
Yet again feel free to comment with compliment or criticism. |
