Song of the Sirens

Come cease thy journey, come to us
Odysseus, Odysseus,
Come silently away;
We'll kiss thee all and everywhere, beneath the ocean's spray.

Oh we are warm and finely made
We yearn for thee, be not afraid
Come close to us this night,
We'll make thee tremble with desire, like beating wings in flight

I dreamed I lightly kissed thy hair
Odysseus, tis true I swear,
Then kisses to thy chest;
Which swiftly ventured lower, at thy shivering behest.

Discard thy garments, yield to us
Odysseus, Odysseus,
Come to our warm caress;
We'll make thee sing the notes coherent words cannot express.

Hi Aberjhani :) yes, I've always been fascinated by all legendary creatures, especially mermaids, vampires & lamias. Thanks for commenting :)

Ahhh, as irresistible as they may be a man's gotta watch out for those deadly gorgeous sirens :-)

Sorry. I hadn't seen the note explaining that the comment needs to be approved, so I sent it again. You'll receive my enthusiasm times two.

Hi Sara. It's always good to read your work. You do capture the tone and language of period, well.  It's active and engaging. I liked it very much.

It's always been a pleasure to read your work, Sara. And I do agree: You do bring out the style and cadence of the period. I really enjoyed reading.

Hi Robby! Thanks for the lovely comments :) I would love to hear you recite this this in a WAV file :) I look forward to hearing it...

Me likey! :) I've not come across anyone else who' dared to write in middle english :) I really do enjoy all your works :) I thought you caught the cadence of that periods poetic style rather well, I've always loved that sing songy internal rhyme style. I enjoyed reading it on a mechanical level, as well as the poetic/artistic level. I will record myself reciting this on my MP3 player and send it to you. It'll be in .WAV format, not MP3, as the players mic records in .WAV (wave).
