Sirens

by ephemera   Jan 24, 2007


Bound to this island
It is our only home,
Singing songs of seduction
To the souls who roam.
Searching for an adventure
To immortalize their name,
They follow our voices
And we feel no shame.

We long for the days
When we roamed free,
Bound only by our pledge
And our obedience to Persephone.
Here we remain eternal
On these rocks to linger,
To ponder our actions
While growing in anger.

To the sailors who sail past
We shall not turn our heads,
We shall introduce you to your fate
Where rocks humble ships.
For the lives that are lost
May deliver us from our demise,
To free us from this form
We have come to despise.

Just in case you were wondering, Sirens are mythological creatures.

    Really enjoying to read. It was a good thing you said that sires were mythilogical creatures or else I wouldn't have understood the title, so good job.

    Sirens are a mythological name for creatures that lived at sea with the upper part of their bodies as women and the bottom half is fish like ... just to correct what was written that the bottom half was like that of birds :)
