She’s no siren
but her touch
makes him scream
with a song –
“Come to me,” she insists,
tempting, taunting,
right behind his eyes,
the shrouded echo beats
and he’ll follow his love
to the heights, to the depths,
to his grave, she’ll
tease
evermore

Oh.. such temptations… and she is so aware as well.
I think so!! Thanks, Bjorn! 🥰
I can’t quite decide how to take this–romance or obsession? 😀
Both!! 💞😆💞
Hahaha. OK! 🤣❤️
Such torment….beautiful poem that can terrify so easily….
Thanks! I am okay with it being a little scary… we have to take risks… ❣️
“She’s no siren…” Teally, what more does it take.
Mind-blower, TS Thanks.
Thanks! I had to use the word siren for #vss365, and I put a twist on an old poem, a little short, but tweetable! 💓
Love the first line.
Thanks, K, had a little fun with the #vss365 prompt word – siren!
Oh, that’s a good one. I don’t check everyday, but I have it in my warm up mix. Wonderful!
Yes, it’s a great daily writing exercise! 💞
Love is too often about power, isn’t it? (K)
It’s always powerful but hopefully the power isn’t abused by either side. ❣️
Yes.
Oooh I love those smoldering connections between two. You told it just right, Tricia. Nice gif to go with it also.
Thanks, Lisa! The GIF is Elena and Damon from The Vampire Diaries, made me smile! 💓
You’re welcome. Haven’t seen that one but have seen the smoldering connections from True Blood which was also about sexy vampires 🙂
I haven’t watched the True Blood series, I think it’s perhaps more graphic than Vampire Diaries, but VD does get pretty bloody in the later seasons. The first season not so bad. I grew addicted! ❣️
I love it. Love and attraction are powerful motivators.
I think this guy went to his grave happy, personally! 😆
Reminds me of the Statler Brothers song, I’ll go to my Grave Loving You!
😄 I listened to them as a kid with my grandparents in Oklahoma! 💖
Great music! :>)
irresistible, poem and siren!
Thanks so much, Colleen! 💖
She sounds like a seductress extraordinaire!
She’s just a charming soul! 😄 Thanks, Ingrid! 💖
This seduction is also a recessional, back into the darkness and deep down into one’s own heart, for the ever-but-almost-not-yet-gratified impulse leads us the the farthest beds deep inside. A trickly steaming and erotically charged poesis here.
Love your comment, Brendan! Thanks for your insight! 💖
Scary and romantic. I love the casual mix of these two! 🙂
Thank you, so pleased you enjoyed it! 💓
ohhhh…..the evil call of the Siren! You’ve captured it here….especially with that idea that her sound/call is behind her eyes.
Thanks, Lillian, she’s transferred the beat behind his eyes and he only has eyes for her now! 😄
Ooh this is incredibly sexy and sensuous! 😀
Thanks, Sanaa, I value your feedback!! 🥰
“to his grave, she’ll
tease
evermore”
yeah, figures. so “click bait” is bad, but “bait and switch” is ok? i’m just kidding, enjoyed your poem =)
Haha! I guess mine is a little clickbaity too, I was projecting!!! 😆💓
The heart knows what the heart knows.
Yes, and it will drive the mind crazy! 🙃
Sweet singing siren! What a sexy, fun romp, Tricia! 💓
Thanks, Punam, it was meant to be more lighthearted! 💓
I enjoyed it. You are welcome! 😀
🥰
Love the skillful craft of this tugging, emotional imagery!
Thanks, Jaya, appreciate your feedback! 💖
