Siren's Kiss (2 parts)

The siren sings

a song of wonder

but she has no hunger

for my kiss...

Through waves she dives

her song yet lingers

and I'm left to wonder

what I miss...

"O siren fine

come and haunt me

sing your song

and give me bliss..."

"You are the only

one that moves me

though that life

and though all this..."

"Your siren's song

for that I long

a touch of love

a gentle kiss..."

The song dies down

on silent wind

so never that

and never this...

And so I'll never

feel the wonder

of your lingering

siren's kiss...

never given

... and the sirens sing their melodious songs,

to make me long for kisses never given …

... from your lips to the tumultuous skies,

flies the whispering breath that I will never hear …

... just a beat from a heart filled with sadness and love,

never pounding with mine in one rhythm …

... the embrace of your sensual body never felt on my skin,

never close, never near ...
