Best Sirens Poems

You measure love in the
leagues across the sea,
and if it was more than twenty
nothing’d bring you back to me.
I could not bring myself to
that same principle of love
could it be measured in distance?
Can you measure the sky above?
For each night I sent my heart
across the...

Under the ocean where King Neptune rules,
multiple species of fish form schools.
The most fantastical fish you'll ever see,
is a mermaid in her long-haired glory.

Sirens of the sea are they,
their voices one with the ocean waves.
Half human with a fish's tail,
they appear to watch the ships...

What if I told you Deep in the abyss 
Was a watery haven where mermaids exist
Guarding treasures of pirates consumed by the sea
Residing in shipwrecks among the debris 
Maybe you have heard their harmonic chorale 
Through ocean’s Secret aquatic canals 
A Spellbinding symphony 
A treat...

The Sirens of the sea are calling
With a voice that is beyond compare
No man can pass without then falling
Into a spell that is  their snare

With a voice that is beyond compare
They sing their eternal song
Into a spell that is their snare
To draw him in...

Inspired by The Sirens and Ulysses, oil painting by William Etty.

Several sirens singing on the shore
Called Calypso’s crew for them to adore.
Willing witless wanderers;
Oblivious obeyers, 
Which waves washed through a rocky tidal bore.

Svelte sisters sieved the sailor’s gore
That the salty surging sea cast ashore.
Boiling briny blunderers
With olive oil and oysters
And feasting until they could eat...

Sleeping with sirens

My sweet song lured you into my bed
On that dark mysterious night
You were so fascinated by my seductive ways
In which I caressed your face with gentle hands
I was your wicked witch 
Your queen of the damned
Such dangerous ripples went through your mind
For some,...

Legends speak of banshees of the blue briny deep, whom cast bewitching
Spells mesmerizing voice and song, beware youthful mariner for charms echoing
Beauty, may cause deceptions fall from grace, nay naivety’s innocence
Attracts creatures of passions folly!
In the Grecian headwaters of historical mystery, these damsels of seduction
Parlous...

A Porsche squats by the side of the road,
keys tucked in the ignition.
We stare at the coupe with our salivating glands…
this devilish hint revving our hidden pleasure.

Slowly, slowly we cross the street
on impulse, Roy and I open the door,
gliding our bodies unto the pompous seats
as...

"In the Silence, Louder than Sirens"

lux vitae bodies merge with minds
the silent universe inside us
makes Love louder than sirens

(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)







“In the silence, love inside us
In the silence, loving guidance
In the silence, love inside us
In the silence, loving guidance
In the silence, peace and quiet
And the...

The harbour rests from the rolling waves			
Of a windswept and tempestuous sea			
Beyond the breakwater lay sailors graves		
Where shipwrecks in eternal sleep rest free		
Once lured upon the rocks they didn’t see		
Now ghosts of sailors take their endless rest		
With sirens haunting cries, their bemoaning plea		
Heard in the...

It is said that there is an island in the midst of a fog-shrouded sea
Where there are mystical creatures, which no mortal man has seen;
Creatures that sing so enchantingly that they entrance all those who hear;
Creatures that sing with such longing that they banish all...

(Victorian artist William Holman Hunt was
both attracted and repelled by his models)

Can we agree that, terrified of sex,
Hunt couldn’t help but hunt it, seek it out?
There doesn’t seem to be a shred of doubt.
He felt his women exercised some hex,
conspiracy throughout the lower decks,
full frontal...

The waves crushing her tiny body with striking blows
White creamy wash caresses her golden skin as the wave slows
Moving sluggishly towards the horizon
Because of a recurring vision she hopes she’ll arise in
Her feet digging deep into the sand as it sinks between her toes
Emersed, with...
