siren song

another muse

You sing siren songs

just like I do.

They mesmerize me.

Even knowing the danger

I still inch closer.

I can't help

feeling a little weak

noticing

the curve of your lips

the smile in your eyes

your sweet scent.

I almost forget to breathe

I am so intent

on the song you sing

and I wonder

if I could ever

be so lucky.

Author's Note

I've been looking at a photo of a rose all week, didn't realize its influence had found its way here

and i wonder if i could ever be this lucky.. wow , Emily this is a very good write.
it seems as if someone is playing with fire.. i like the title and the way it flows
seems as if it was effortless for you to pen this , as if it just flowed out of you .. these are my favorite lines:


I almost forget to breathe

I am so intent

on the song you sing

I like that it's addressed to a rose rather than a person [although it kind of has universal application].
Pretty flowers make me suspicious...like the ones in Jumanji haha. "siren song" = very appropriate.
Great pacing; it inches its away along...like a mesmerized figure...or an expanding bud.

I had to immediately add this to favorites. It's so beautiful. It reads like a rose opens.

Just beautiful. I thought Spring was the season for love. But Fall?? Well the way I see it, every season is good for loving. A Siren huh? I just hope the song doesnt sound like one of them London police cars...hehe, you know I can't help myself...XD
NICE!

something's in the air around here...maybe it's the season...maybe it's...

A soft sensual feel to this poem.....or perhaps its my mood. LOL A very enjoyable read.

Oh!!!! that wonderful muse that brings out the best in us, even when it causes such danger, we take the chance that we won't get burned. Great piece Sweet Emily.

Lyrically lovely!! Such a beautiful, smooth flowing poem, Emily. Really do like this piece. Thanks for sharing something so lovely.

The danger is a great part of the attraction, of course. And this sings beautifully. *smile* (Never forget to breathe, though, it's most important.)

[Dezaraye]

This gave me a shudder up my spine. Oooh, I LOVE it!

It's very harmonious in its flow ... it reminds me of two things: fire and water ... and the combination is awesome!
