From the Deep
The sun sets a bit differently in the middle of the ocean.
For a moment,it turns red and looks like fire dancing forever in motion.
The sound of waves crashing all around me and sounds of birds above gawk.
Then I swear I caught a shadow cast somewhere afar.
My eyes must be playing tricks and it's just a mirage
I saw a fin,of course it's a fish what sort of drugs was I seemingly on?
She began to sing an unknown tune id never heard before.She sang it with the most beautiful voice and with it I was most definitely in love.
The closer she swam to me,the closer overboard I leaned.
My safety at this point seemed a bit loose and I was relieved
Now I could see her clear.Alas! she's so much more than just a fish.
She had the perfect complection and skin that looked as smoothe as a clouds edge.
Her lips looked as velvet cake I couldn't wait for it to touch my lips.
Her voice paraded through my ears and id never felt safer
Her eyes were blue as diamonds I felt no immediate danger.
The closer she got,the safer I felt and if you've already guessed it,yes,I was under a spell.I should be upset I'll never see another sunrise or that I was lured in and tricked by a treacherous smile.
Maybe even in death the Sirens magic consumed my spirit but I don't mind.No matter what you think it was the best way to die
Oh how I love to set back on the clouds sometimes and of her ill dream.How sometimes I wish she could trade those fis for a pair of wings and be up here with me.although,one thing I remember,I wouldn't mind her to keep,would be her perly white molars,those damned razor sharp teeth.
