Siren Song
3-6-15

I am the siren of the sea and waves,
Come, be mine, heed my call and marry me;
Give me yourself for the rest of your days
For I will swim through the oceans and seas
To have you by my side tonight.

I am one with the deepest, darkest depths
Of depravity; a siren in all
Ways true – come swim the heights and widths and breadths
As I swim with you – come with me, stand tall,
Tail to tail within the moonlight.

Bear my crown of shells upon your wide brow
And my belt of kelp around your waistline,
The time has come for us, the time’s come now
To swim down through the deep, leave all behind;
Blessed be love and the lovers fight.

I am the siren of the deepest dark,
Together we have conquered and shall rule
All the land and sea and sky, leave our mark
Upon the world of mankind, those so cruel
Will rue the day of mermaid’s blight.
For the mermaids contest at GrimGloomTale

Tried my hand at iambic pentameter (gave up counting the iambs so this may be off and may just be pentameter on its own) with a final line of tetrameter. Sometimes forms can be fun.
