SIREN CALL

SIREN CALL After she opened her door to me She said she’d sensed me from afar Was this actually some kind of ESP Or could she have been an avatar The eyes said it all, glowing bright A powerful attraction led me here Now I can’t let her out of my sight A willing prisoner, it would appear This way and that, but ever higher I am floating like a kite in the wind She must know my heart is on fire It’s there where all hope is pinned Then upon entering I hear her song And no longer have any power left Flesh is weak but my heart is strong But of all willpower I’m now bereft Now I will readily become your slave As a man of substance, not a knave

an enjoyable read with the perfect title and smooth rhyme scheme. Liked this line: but of all willpower I'm no bereft." Those dang sirens...they do wield great power. :-) The last verse brought a smile to my face. Have a pleasant weekend, Sara
