Witch of the Water

Wondering through the darken sea

Smell the moistened rocks

Gaze upon the shadowed trees

Questioned by the knocks

Who is it

What lies beyond the mist

Serpents are crawling through the nets

Perhaps it's the girl I never did kiss

Oh, Temptress of blackened waters

Whom do you come for now

The man who stole your virgin daughter

or the girl who broke your mortal vow 

When walking down upon the shore

Take time to stop and stare

The lady who haunts the harbour

She has seaweed in her long black hair

Her life lacks simple bliss

The mourns pierce the night

What made her quite like this

Always on the border of human site

Oh, Temptress of blackened waters

Whom do you come for now

The man who stole your virgin daughter

Or the girl who broke your mortal vow

Whoo! This is fantastic! I especially love how you said the girl was a "witch of the water" instead of saying she was a mermaid or a siren. You're so talented!

Thank you! Most of my poems started out as songs but since I can't play an instrument they are now poems lol

That's fine! I know how you feel. You can actually still turn them into music by collaborating. I use SongSilo. This way, I can write song lyrics, and someone else can come up with the music behind it.

Wow, thanks for the help! I will definitely look into that
