PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a tempestuous siren encroaches on me,

of pallid complexion and papery vein;

her spectre impresses unwaveringly,

musing of violence, perplexion and pain.

lustful in languish, her villous swan-song

enraptures and captures both mighty and meek;

stringing the sinful and saintly along,

reducing to ashes foolhardy and weak.

take heed unto wisdom, listen for her voice,

dwell in her gatehouse and learn of her ways;

choose of the latter when presented the choice,

she’ll faithfully keep you for all of your days.

heed neither the harlot nor her gates unto death,

submit unto wisdom and save your life’s breath.
