Chasing Grief

Sea of Sirens

Sea of Sirens

Aug 13, 2023

I awoke ashore, my head on someone's lap 
Lap, is it? Or tail is a better name 
Musical laughs and happy claps I heard when I got up 
"You are awake!" They all happily exclaim

At first glance, seductive beauty is their look 
Long hair, full lips, with their sultry eyes 
Chest bare, and waist down I thought I mistook 
Legs for a tail, but I did not, to my surprise

The shape of their ears resembled that of gills and fin 
Like their waist down, their lower arm became scales from skin 
They moved with such grace and ease like dancers of the seas 
No wonder men of tales left their ships and realities

This place challenges that of the paradise 
Eternal sunshine from above and streams of gleaming water 
Rainbows forming wherever like an island's vice 
Sirens beckoning you come and join them underwater

In a blink I forgot what I ventured for 
"This is it; everything I wished and more" 
Among the sirens I swam and played 
What is there to worry about, even when I'm out late?

A moment's pleasure can indeed make one forget all that made their heart grieve and jump with joy. Why, I shall ask, must I leave such place of wonder and beauty? Nothing else can be heaven after this.
