Siren's Song.


brittle tender sands that wash away
with the flow of seas of servitude and longing
bear a quickness on my being like thousands of beestings,
kissing me all at once.
easily seen, seafoam eyes
riding over this ocean's waves in the rising sun,
treasuring every cloud, seagull, and flop of fish
that exists within sight.
too much beauty lies here, weighing me down,
earthly anchor
stuck in the wreckage of the deep blue depths.
the undertow pulls me in,
the submission to a siren's song
it is buried treasure deep within
that has been here all along.
