Tarkay is an artist who painted women's eyelids

Tarkay lids of merlass Royal purple hue Smooth glass surface Sea of gemstone blue ~ Siren sisters taunt the sailors Weaving in and out of looms Seductive creatures with lyres Luring the lustful to their tombs They didn’t heed the gentle merlass The whispers of the foamy sea Their greedy eyes now single minded Caught in a seaweed net - not free Courageously the merlass tries to cut the ties Siren sisters just increase their blinding noise A plectrum choir captures lolling tongues Ahoy sailors! They're no longer men - but boys Mild merlass looks away from the frenetic fish Her wild rose eyes notice a face, sweet as a kiss One who's not succumbed to the scum of the sea Like an ear to a clamshell, her heart pounds out bliss ~ Tarkay lids of merlass Royal purple hue Smooth glass surface Sea of gemstone blue 4/21/2017 9th place/Premier contest Poems Written in April Poetry Contest (not for contest)

The catch is not as good as the chase in this case, as the lonely pursuits of love leaves a trail of bitter tears and broken spirits for those destined to only chase, but never quiet capture love, and must live in a constant state of longing. Emile.

What an amazing piece. Was lured in by the siren's song of the title, then captivated as the masterful tale unfurled. Loved the "plectrum choir" description. And then the shape you created added another dimension... you are truly gifted! Going straight on my favourites! Best wishes, John.

What Chris says is exactly what I was thinking. A huge sailing ship, and it's beautiful. The subject is incredibly interesting, and I will look it up.

Kim, not only is the poem beautiful but when looking at it I see a sailing ship coming towards me (or moving away from me) and that is so cool.
