Song of the Sirens
I still long, so long, those long nights at sea
With no souls around, but starlight and me
No land, no people, no sirens at night
Picturesque beauty, with unfiltered light
The Song of the Sirens, still call out my name
O'er seas, o'er shadows, o'er waves still untamed
They cradle my soul, then rock me

after the sirens
not anyone
had spoken for hours
but the hard hallway remembered
the sound's echo of ambulance light
and how a woman still clutched her locket

aquamarine
I dreamt of a siren
with crystal skin and quaint braided hair.
her eyes, slow swirls of undying azure,
coiled around, her salt-sweet chorus
tightening at my throat
The alluring notes
pierce through my rasp scream—
In cold sweats I
wake up nauseous—
My vocal cords enfolded in her skin.

Sirens
Sugar-sighing seas swell and stir
my seaman's obsession with blonde pleasures
but treachery’s buried in treasures feminine gold
a flute a lyre voices honey dipped in gilded danger
temptation burns Hades flames on sunset waters
sea-devils those she-devils salty-tear-sweet
ooh songstress sisters please just a taste
a kiss on lips that set fire to desires

The Fantasies of Sirens
The bullets did not fly into the wind,
They struck, leaving indelible scars,
Blood on the pavement, pain in impure souls,
The bodies fall, but the eyes remain wide open.
The pains we hide become a torment for the oppressed,
A cry that screams the truth of injustice.
They call it an accident, but the accident is a clean version,
A lie

I paid no heed to the call of the sirenS
I paid no heed to the call of the siren(s)
where amble lances
hurled with the might
of off fish hull seductress dances
setting figurative stage to take a bite
from canoodling beastie boy best eaten alive
or just after freshly being killed.
oblivious to the ramifications
courtesy the deafening ear splitting sound,
nor mindful of the devastating emotional fallout
lurking within outer

Sirens and Horns
I'll tell you about the Traffic Cop
Who stands on the road, a rigid prop.
A whistle in hand, a stern, fixed stare,
A battle with chaos, a daily affair.
His uniform was bright, a badge on his chest,
A symbol of order, put to the test.
He waves his arms, he shouts with might,
Trying to tame

SONGS OF SIRENS
The heart of men
A magnet, a lion's den
Attracted to the soft melodies
Made by the sway of ladies' hips.
It's like the stories
Of old sailors
Enchanted by the songs of sirens
Irresistible tunes luring them to their end.
It's a sad reality
How that dance doesn't last too long
For the songs of sirens
Are just a

The momma and her baby little bear
They ambled thru the town with out a care,
the momma and her baby, little bear..
People on the street all froze and stared,
at the momma and her baby, little bear..
Some gathered on their porches and watched
in their chairs, the momma and her baby, little bear..
Many grew scared as the sirens blared,
at the momma and her baby,

SIRENS
SIRENS
Finally my blood began to coagulate.
I woke to the sound of sirens,
Someone’s in trouble,
Hope they’re all right.
Force reluctant eyelids apart
And see … nothing.
Blink, blink, blink -
And through a fog
Broken glass.
Try to move.
Legs trapped, numb.
Someone’s sitting on my bed?
Reach down,
Leg hot and sticky.
A distant voice,
“I’m Dave, a paramedic.
Have to stop the blood.
Press down on this.”
More sirens.
“Fire

Sirens Song
Caught in a vortex
Gripped by turbulent fingers
Drawing me downward
Panick stricken stimulation
Rushed through my mind
Mesmerized by depth
Of the murky waters
Where rusty relics rest
Capsized. Relentlessly
Thinking furiously
Thoughts radiate recovery
Repose is resistant
Seeking refuge
Trinkets tearing tides
Strung on moonbeams
Villain’s vile venom
Tauntingly summoning
Sublimely stressed
Beckoning below
Embodied by a captor
No subsequent release
Sinking to my doom
Do I dear to hope?
Subconsciously searching
Unknowing of

She was not beautiful like the sirens sharing their luster on pages
She was not beautiful like the sirens sharing their luster on pages,
But she was beautiful in how her thoughts gracefully floated through worlds.
A spark in her gaze when she spoke passionately of her love,
Splendor that, beyond voice, awakens new stars in the heavens.
Beautiful in a smile that gathers springs within another soul,
Even though from her

In the Silence, Louder than Sirens
"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 sirens won't divide us …"
(excerpt, "Ahoy There"/Dhani Harrison, lyrics)

Sirens' Screams
Stitched in braille from life's mishaps
the horrors and the pain relapse
Even on the quietest shores
his haunts invaded evermore
Long ago, the peaceful dreams
buried deep by sirens' screams
Transports rushing through the night
the ghosts

Sirens sound
I have never gotten used
to the sirens sound—
a heart-piercing shriek
as shrill as a wild pig’s.
A blood-numbing wail,
A spine-chilling, hair-raising cacophony
that always jarred my nerves;
It reminds me of a baby wailing
a grim reaper slashing someone’s throat
a rapist ripping apart his victim’s dress
an angry wife tearing her marriage certificate
a frustrated father tearing the will on
