The painful poignancy of desire

A siren's song

I have risen, gentle lover
From the quiet depths of sea
To encircle you forever
Into me.

My hair is the ocean's currents
My touch is the softest breeze
I excite the sweetest torments
That exist.

My eyes sparkle in the moonlight
Glitter like the richest gems
Making everything seem bright
That you see.

In my arms, forget the future
Let the past be but a dream
Let the second flow forever
Like a stream.

And when you remember others
Let the music of my song
Soothe away your deepest troubles
Nothing's wrong.

Let my body be your treasure
Let your sorrow be our prayer
Forget every rule and measure
Have no care.
