Red Sky in Mourning

Red Sky in Mourning

A Poem by Silky

I am that forgotten voice on the edge of the world. 
Residing where the sun meets the sea. 
I am the beginning and the end. 
I push and pull like the tide.
I drag you under like the current.
I drown you.

Intoxicated 
Superficial
Delirium. 

Taste the tonic on my lips. 
Quench that desert thirst. 
Let me relieve you of your sailor's burden.
For I am a siren in the sea of false promises.

I like it a lot, the imagery is powerful. I don't have any major criticisms either, good job!
