"Siren" by Kortnee Bryant

SciFi/Fantasy text 11 out of 18 by Kortnee Bryant. ←Previous - Next→

A shortish poem that my husband says is creepy. What do you think?

Come closer, darling

I can’t see you in the dark

There’s so little light beneath the sea

The sun burns our skin

We can’t seem to get sunscreen

So come closer, darling

Let me look at you

There’s rarely anyone so handsome

Who comes this way anymore?

Certainly only the old salts

So come closer, my dear

I shan’t let my sisters hear

They’d want you for themselves

But I won’t let them have you

To put you on their undersea shelves

So come closer, my dear

Let me whisper in your ear

The sweet nothings I long to hear

Yes, let me put my arms around

And I’ll take you to my lair

Besides it sounds like you are talking about mermaids and they are not always nice, so is cool. Kortnee Bryant replies: "I was reading the part in the Odyssey where they go by the sirens and since sirens are usually said to look like mermaids then... I'm glad you got that!"
