I Hear the Siren - Vokonis

I am afloat upon

A vast and nameless ocean

I cast a pale reflection

On the moonlit surface

Far beneath

Echoes stir

I stare into the darkness

Of the beguiling waters

From the depths there rises up

A song that reaches for my heart

The fairest voice pulls me down

I hear the siren beckoning me

I am bereft of all

Sense and consciousness

My burning mind desires

To slip below the waves

Lures you in

With false grace

Waits like an open grave

The death’s embrace

I hear the siren

I hear the siren

I hear the siren

I hear the siren beckon me
