A Dream of SirensA Poem by Daniel Raftery
Deceptive thoughts disguised as dreams
Reflected off broken glass from moonlight beams A mirage in the scorching desert Is all that lays across the landscape, all to be seen? I have noticed you somewhere before Lying naked near some distant shore A voice that once sung soft, lulling tunes Now dry and dead, wanting, nevermore Or is it not my ears are deaf? A voiceless sorrow, airless, choking breath Tied to some faulty, weathered mast Blown weary and languid, right and left But I cannot give into such thoughts That all I want is floating endlessly, forever lost I must shun these fruitless dreams Farewell fantasies; can one's mind sustain such costs?
