Siren Song

You could sing to me with all that love,

Formed like a present on your tongue.

Formed like perfection.

You could sing to me with all that fascination. 

You could really do a number on me,

Babe.

I know you could sing a song so sweet,

Melody so fine and whimsical,

Something only just for me.

Yeah, I know you could sing to me,

That beautiful siren song. 

With all those lies formed on your tongue. 

Yeah, I know you could sing to me,

That beautiful siren song,

Just to pull me that much closer, 

And to watch me drown.

Your song would be brilliant,

Something everyone would want,

You’d really captivate everyone,

Babe.

So sing to me,

Your beautiful siren song,

With all those lies formed on your tongue. 

Author's Note

I honestly think this would do better as a song, but I have no talent in vocals, and I can't read music worth shit. so, yeah.

nice, clever ending!

@ Starbucks, hmm good question. My Brit Lit professor had said that some poetry is best spoken aloud. But I suppose it depends on the poem. :)

I really enjoyed this, it felt like a poetic love-ballad, I feel the 1st and 3rd stanzas the most.

Do you believe that true poetry is meant to be spoken aloud?

I usually get bored of repetition but this made me want to read on. In my opinion I think this is better as it is and not as a song because the snotty people out there don't deserve to hear this spectacular piece xD
