Song of the Sirens
Sirens’ song
Sing something soft and soothing
I’ve been lonely far too long
Murder me
Croons of seductive sea nymphs
End me in your splendid spree
Severed soul
All fear has forgotten me
Drown me in your shallow shoal
An abyss
Yet this world has lost its depth
Many, and all are amiss
Come closer
Do not miss this beating heart
Cleanse me with calming closure
This poem is written in the form of an Irish treochair of five tercets laden with alliteration.
