Siren

Hand in heart,

Heart in hand,

Ripped brutally from trembling chest.

Malicious smile spread wide over beauty divine.

Pain searing through broken mind.

Temptation spread across skies of rich blue.

Promise of winged liberation,

Hiding threat of feathered demise.

Longing choking senses,

Desire smothering thought.

Anguish beating against empty shell.

Shrill, serene mantra bleeding through desperately blocked ears.

Resolve dissolved in one glimpse of perplexing splendour.

Siren.
