As flowing and beautiful as
waves on the shore,
their voices sweet like the birds
yet deadly as a tsunami.
In my mind,
I am a siren.
I belong to no one
devouring men as I see them.
My voice as sweet as symphonies,
I lure you in
waiting for my attack.
In a perfect world
I would be as deadly as mermaids
in the Greek tales.
I would rip you apart with my
melodic Debussy enchantment.
To be a mermaid,
strong and fearless.
I would not resemble
the head strong adolescent of Walt.
I would decorate the rocks on the shore
with withered bones.
Yet, my dreams of depredation
fall short.
For in my fairy tale,
you were the one to devour me,
spitting out my bones in front
of the world
and leaving me empty.
The beautiful song rapidly increases
as my heart begins to race.
You pull me in
my eyes turn the darkest shade of black.
I have received my fate
I am not the beautiful mythological creature
I am the foolish sailor.
