Sirens

Siren song, forever, in the distance My bonds, a safeguard from their seducing pleas Restless senses and principles at war Just like Ulysses - hold tight, don't you let me go Drifting above the ruins of dreams from long ago Amidst their shadows, echoes of a love lost before Temptation lingers, even though I've tasted the fall The flesh is weak; the ego, destroys us all Siren song, forever, in the distance Image of you; a shield from their haunting pleas I've been a Trojan horse, and my own Calypso Faced my Scylla and Charybdis - chose you long ago The very thing we are all chasing Slips through the sieve of our lives We drifted without direction - time, out it ran While the treasure lay waiting in silence Right where it all began Siren song, forever, in the distance Siren song, forever, in the distance
