Ligeia

Ligeia is my Greek siren singer. Singing warmhearted songs of happiness At night, I waking at sunrise to her Indescribable Psyche* loveliness. Although oracles consulted are wise And state her beauty is too great for me. To leave her on a mountaintop advised Placate the jealous gods I’ll not agree. Unlike Eros**, Ligeia lights each lamp And knows her man that loves her every night. She’ll not make compromises -not this vamp! So serenade me Ligeia, excite My fancies. Sing to me songs that we love The kind we dream and those still undreamed of. * Greek goddess of the soul and one of exquisite grace and beauty. ** Greek god of love , husband of Psyche.
