The Siren’s Love

She sings ever so softly
Some might call her a monster,
But she knows only love
In it’s deepest forms,
She does not wish to cause pain
To confuse
It is to love that she does obey
And she sees her love from a distance
So close,
And yet…
So she sings because she knows
This he will hear,
This may make his heart swoon,
Despite the odds that keep
Them at a distance,

The others could never understand
The feelings that a bare song evokes,
The way it makes his heart flutter up into his throat,
And this is what it’s meant to do,
Make the one you love
Too love you

But she wants love not against his wishes,
She wants his love
But not by trickery,
She wants him to fall in love
With the siren
For the very beauty
Of her, and her song

Starlight

The starlight is so bright out here,
No light pollution competition,
My eyes are in awe at the sight,
Like reading words for the first time,
I cannot go back to silent foggy skies,
Cannot imagine not finding my star,
As it illuminates my heart and mind,
Every night,
Star,
This dreamer searches for you,
And wishes,
By your light
Every night
