Like Siren’s on the rocks…
Calling ships to shore…
Their voices fill the air…
Tempting him once more…
Knowing all his secrets…
All his dark fantasies…
Exploiting his weakness…
Distorting what he sees…
The world around him…
And all that he knows…
Begin to melt away…
As the North wind blows…
Bringing their words to his ear…
And infecting his soul…
A Voodoo type of magic…
That simply takes control…
Of his thoughts and actions…
Which take a life of their own…
And the darkness inside him…
Is once again shown…
Yet there is nothing he can do…
He’s spellbound by their voices…
Those serpents in the grass…
Who remove all of his choices…
Telling him what to do…
Commanding that he listens…
Like a puppet on a string…
Who never learns his lessons…
Sleepwalking back towards them…
The moment they appear…
Numbing all his senses…
Forgetting all his fears…
But those Siren’s on the rocks…
Speak in tongues of strangers…
And he needs to wake up…
Then understand the dangers…
Yet they beckon him over…
Knowing he will always fall…
And that he’ll forever be…
At their sinful beck and call…

Oh, beautiful song! Thanks for introducing me to some good music. Nice poem.
You are welcome and even if the poems are too dark for you – there is always the music – something for everyone 😉 – Cheers J
You showcase a horrific state of affairs. The only way to display the horror properly, is to gain perspective from the Holy Throne of the Most High God. That perspective has often thrown men to the ground in convulsing tears.
Yes the sirens still call. But so does the blazing Glory of the Most High God in Christ Jesus, His Holy and Righteous Son.
(I write this reply to complete the sonnet.)
I do and I am glad you put me right and finished the sonnet – Cheers J
