Siren's Call

Last night the ocean called my name,
Make love to me she softly surged.
Ignite the silver moonlit flame
Come to me she gently urged.

I'll hold you in my cool embrace,
Run my fingers through your hair.
Teasingly I'll kiss your face
Taste my passion if you dare.

Strip your body and your soul
Let all pretences simply go.
Let mutual passion be your goal
Surrender to my ebb and flow.

In your loins my passion surge
Rhythmic tides beat in your ear.
Submit dear heart in love submerge
To drown in ecstasy, without fear.

Feel the passion come crashing down
Ride my waves to the highest crest.
In blissful lust I'll let you drown
Until you're spent and cry for rest.

I have tasted your love before, I cried
You sucked the breath right out of me.
In stormy seas I nearly died
You spat me out for all eternity!

I did not answer the siren's call
Fickle waves on moonlit shore.
Luring me to an eternal fall
Losing my soul for evermore.

Wow, Heidie! Lash me to the mast! This is a super effort. Odysseus lost lots of men to just such imagination as this. If you are a lover of Greek mythology, then shake my hand. At one time, many years ago, I wrote a rather long chap book on Greek themes. Love, Daver....I give this a 10

That Siren's call has a lure all its own. Loved this poem, loved the ocean all my life. Darn! In all those years I never saw a mermaid. Vince

Heidie, another WOW! The personification of the ocean is outrageously amazing. Oh how you made her the queen of mysterious seduction. Love the sexuality, power, and unrelenting hold she casts over you. How you or any of us would have strength to deny her is unknown. Completely mesmerized and bewitched by this write. Beyond excellent! Love, Shar
