Sirens, Monstrous

Your beautiful melody echoes the corridors of hell Deep beneath the seabed where betrayed men fell under your spell From the love your forked tongue, does tell From your cold heart where it remains an imprisoned cell Washed ashore, my dissolved essence litters the beach sand Here, my wreckage of a life makes its last stand The bitter sting of your crocodile tears resuscite a will to live From a wiped happiness that took a deep dive When I was unwittingly lured to the smoke of your purple island On my journey to bigger and better things to faraway lands I dreamt of an escape from your squared, watertank into the light To open waters, where I long to swim with other great whites To you, my existence is awkward and criminal My unconvential beliefs, irrational So, blessed with my many cursed children Soon to grow and leave as fit men from the clan Ravenous to feed..overzealous for greed And breed like dispersing seed For unlike me.. They're born free

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
