She pierces my soul
With her gaze.
Tempting with pleasure
And pain.
Songs of passion
Whisper like thunder
And echo like bells
In my brain.
Her beauty is madness
And rapture
Captivating
My soul
She sings of dreams long
Forgotten, and treasures
And memories hidden ---
Untold.
«Stay here awhile with
Me?» she pleads
«I give you the peace
Of your mind.
Promises offered
And suff'ring no longer
The gift that I give
To your kind.»
I cannot resist
Her lure.
Eternity seems
Not so long.
My concept of time
Withers away and
I'm left in the drift
Of her song.
The bounty she holds
To my heart;
Impossible to turn
Her away
Even in spite of
The knowledge of the
Hint of the price that
I must pay.
«What do you wish for?
Tell me true.»
The look I receive
Is strange.
It's hollow and empty
And burning with hunger,
«What part of your life
would you change?»
I'm haunted with ages of
Images,
Of all of the lives
I have spent ---
Wasting away in
The jungles of time
Clutching the wheres
I have went.
Laying my head in
Her bosom
Her lullaby sends
Me to sleep.
I seem to recall
A life in a dream
Never again to
Have or keep.
A song, yes a tale I
Remember,
A tale I was told
As a lad.
A lonely girl on
An island to sea
Whose voice would drive
Sailors mad.
I seem to have found my
Good Lady Luck
Whose chances are better
Than mine.
My soul she has taken,
Devoured with hunger,
Placating, at least
For a time.
Wherever your travels
May take you,
Be it over the land
Or the sea,
The beautiful voice
Which hums in your ear
Is calling the heart
«To Me!»
She pierces the soul
With her gaze.
Tempting with pleasure
And pain.
Songs of passion
Whisper like thunder
And echo like bells
In your brain.
Her beauty is madness
And rapture
Captivating your
Spirit
She captures your mind
And your soul, as well.
Her voice you will know when
You hear it.
