Siren

She waits patiently beneath a forever changing surface
Watching for handsome men to pass by 
Iridescent skin shimmering in all light that reaches her
Hair flowing towards the surface to snare and capture
She leaps out of the water to sing her haunting song of love and passion
Kissing the men she traps in her words
She drags them to her world of change
Hoping that they will be the one to set her free 
Only to cry oceans when her hope is dissolved

Yep - you got the word "ocean" in, even if it was "oceans". I bet you saw my Blog! Well done.
