To Love a Siren

"To love is human.
To feel pain is human.
Yet to still love despite the pain is pure angel." - Rumi

There is a voice out there - above the water
whispering melodies I can't seem to get enough of
its longing shaped like lavender hyacinths
But it's so easy to sing
and so hard to drown
in the things you make me feel

Interesting work. Love can make us come alive which makes it so hard when it doesn't work out with that person. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
