Music

When a song grips you.

Hear
Your siren's call
Drawing me
Near.

Slowly
Seducing me
With your spell
To the water's
Edge.

Pulling me
Deeper
With each note
Into your web.

Surrendering
My soul
Unconsciously
To your care.

As
My body moves
Hypnotically
To your rhythm.

Only
To awaken
With it's echo
In my soul.

Nice read here music can set the tone of ones mind in happiness, sadness, cheerful, and want to dance afterwards can leave you singing or humming it to yourself. I like this one good writing.

Thank you, very much, Kelvin.

you are certainly not speaking to a tree, yet I can imagine you sitting on a pier for some reason, nicely penned

[therisa]

Thank you, Sheema. When I think about this poem, am sitting in my bedroom, playing my favourite Gothic Internet station, As I lose myself, to its rhymes.

i absolutely love this. so simple and yet speaks volumes of emotion. some delightful smatterings of metaphor and cool imagery. and, also noteworthy....whether intentional or not, stanza four is a deliciously wicked acrostic! nice....

[therisa]

Thank you, Quinn. Never noticed that, about the fourth stanza. Trust me, it was purely unintentional on my part. Guess, I need to get my mind out of the gutter. :)

[quinfinn]

you're welcome....gutter is fun sometimes

i relate to this...music has always done that to me...i just move to it, it makes that impression on me that stays...

and certain songs years later...i hear them and am back in that moment when i first heard them.

such a cool write here.

and musical in its short lines...there is a beat to this.

Thank you, Jacob, for your kind and generous words, for this poem. My friends, whom I shared this poem with, have commented that it feels like a gothic tune, which I was listening, when I wrote this.

This is some good poetry...:)

[therisa]

Thank you, Sami. Some poems just write themselves.

[Sami Khalil]

I do agree. You are welcome...:)
