Sing To Me

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.

Hi, Albert, I like your sonnet-- everything but "vamp." It seems out of place with the rest of your poem. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Thanks! Ngoc.
