One of the first poems that I've ever written, and still one of my favorites
The Sirens
The sirens sing, I hear the sound, to draw me in and see me drown, to lay me down upon the stone, to stop my journey home. The sirens sing a song of Death, drawing blood from my chest, they look at me and sing some more, laughing at the closing door. The sirens sing, their song grows dim, I pray to see my home again, They sing yet more and close my eyes, the sirens sing to see me die. The sirens sing, whispers near, making others shake with fear, they shudder on their wayward path never daring to look back. The sirens sing their deadly song powerful will last not long The sirens sing, a mark of Death. The sirens sing, who is next?

sweet poem. I like the mythology topic and the end is particularly good. my favorite line though is "The sirens sing, their song grows dim, I pray to see my home again" captures the feel of a person who is actually being wooed by the sirens & fighting the urge

yup, i love mythology. it's kind of a duel meaning poem though, at the time i wrote it i was dealing with some addiction issues to, so i felt that the sirens were a good "description" of drugs.
