SirenSong -poetry

A cold wind blows, across the plain of my life
Once fertile, now, only weeds run rife
The trees have died, the grass lay waste
Even the clouds move on in haste

I don’t know when the rain ceased its fall
I didn’t notice the worlds paltry pall
I was too busy, too happy and aloof
Playing in rainbows painted on my roof

You’d planted flowers that bloomed in the field
Their wonderful scent a welcome yield
You made the birdsong so soft and so sweet
You laid the sunshine down at my feet

My world was warm, whole and complete
My happiness genuine, my joys replete
I lay in your arms, so safe and so calm
Cocooned in our love, my heart in your palm

The chill wind bites, it tugs and it whirls
The dead leaves stirring, limp grass it unfurls
There is nothing left, no warmth and no love
No life left to live, just one wounded dove

I would keep on walking, but I don’t have the strength
I don’t have the heart to keep walking the length
My eyelids are heavy, just as is my heart
My legs they wont move, they wont play a part

You’re lost to me, as I am to you
Where you have gone I have no clue
The world closed us in and then we were gone
You were nowhere to be found, nowhere the light shone

I lost you, and I lost my life
I wanted to be your one and only wife
But that was a dream, one lost in the sea
The sea where I drown so peacefully

As I descend through the crystalline deep
The world darkens around me, my soul to keep
It wraps me up in its blackened caress
To it my sins I have no need to confess

The cold silent deep, it wraps around me
Welcoming me in as a part of the sea
My soul floats alone, at last at peace
My pain gone from me, my hurt to decease

My heart it is calmed, again in your grasp
Our precious memories my hands do clasp
Once more we sit beneath the sunshine
Wrapped in each other, together for all time…
