Siren Song

He sails the broken and choppy sea
He stands as its captain tall and proud
Looking out of the vast sea, his kingdom
The salty air stings his eyes
As he sees her out in the distance
Aye! A siren he sees!
With her long snake like tail
Gleaming metallic green
The sunlight shines
Upon a face disfigured with scars

She gouged her eyes out long ago
Afraid of what the future held
Her madness driving talons
Through her gaping wounds
Over and over again
Until her screaming  and writhing
Calmed as she bled
All the lies that she had bared

Seeing this macabre creature
He is stunned,
She has marred such beauty
Elegance and grace
After seeing many like himself
Lured to their end
By her haunting voice
And the coolness of her eyes
Mirroring the strength of the ocean
And the promise of her love
While death lurked behind her smile

She cries as the agony grows deeper
Of all those that she has killed
Their faces she can still see
Although she tried in her own way
To force her hand
And make them leave her thoughts
Their bodies succumbing to the water
Faces still shocked and half rotted away

The Captain sails on, still listening to her scream
This creature of beauty
Tormented by her wicked actions
Of bringing sailors to their death
The siren song so haunting
Now only a vague reminder
Of a killer out a sea
