Poems are things you write when you feel things too big to say, and things too big to feel. Everything here is my own work, picked up from flashes and memories and small remarks that stayed with me. I hope you find something that stays with you

The Siren’s song

A quill of sage
A crown of thorns
A heart of stone

A wolf who was alone

Gray like a winters day
The coat that she wore

Beautiful as a colorful flower
The eerie eyes she used to glower

Elegant was one way to describe her
But it left much more to be desired

Regal- Commanding, were the words that were needed
If she gave anyone instructions, they would be heeded

Because anybody can be as bright as the sun-
But what will you do when nightfall comes?

As the sun would set-
So would she

And a siren emerged-
Her evil eyes full of evil glee

Shiny black hair would become uneven and done
Pretty blue eyes- next to none

Claws emerged from the once gentle hands
That stroked children’s cheeks on a tumbling caravan

The hand that gave to those in need
Now only cared about maintaining her own lead

In the day, she had no allies
But as the sun set-
They scarily multiplied

If you care for your life-
And value your well being-
You’ll do her bidding

For she is the one who has no name
And is everything but tame

All I can say is who she is and what she does
That’s it- but its not much

Run my friend, and keep on running
The siren you are dealing with is scarily cunning.
