Siren Serenade

Sunken chest bequeathed to fathomless depths. Cracked for all time, marred by death. Gently rocking in tides, never glimpsing a sky. Tethered, tangled string, made of many a misdeed. Time erodes bonds, that now anchor thee. Straining to grasp treasure buried, long indeed, Clutching trinket in hand, setting bend to knee, Striking heels to sand, at last being free. Ascent amongst shadows, Lazarus from brine, Distant sounds of riptides guiding the blind. Head breaking wave, a turbulent display. Yet no sign of day, nor its golden rays. Tossing & heaving, rag-dolled on darkened sea, Pondering what fate, what fate will come of me. Eyes burning straining, against swirling fog, Quaint sounds, a laughter, echos from afar, A tail slapping surface, ever so hard. Thought-provoking singing, riding gales, ever increasing, True sorrows song depleting, debilitating pain, exiting discreetly. This cannot be the meaning. ideas of self deception rife, misleading. These promises of destiny, though quit intriguing, A mere construct, a minds deceiving. There must be answers, continue seeking, chuckling waters, undulating, depleting. Mere whimsy is this thinking, Just raining wave, its chorus fleeting. Parched, soaked, struggles for breathe, Thy hands outstretched, expecting nothing, hesitantly seeking. Yearning for refuge, grounds fresh for seeding. Flotsam composed in better memory, safe for keeping. A reason to weather, this suffocating, lucid dreaming, Memory lapping, quietly teasing, melancholy biting, never retreating. Past times wrought brimming, distributed wrongs given, & receiving. Coalescing painful tangles, of battered debris. Vague possibilities, a catalyst, ignited gleefully. Pushing forth, through shifting tendencies, Creating disruptive ripples so effortlessly. Shattering long enduring feelings of inadequacy. Scrabbling upon a makeshift raft of possibility. Able to breathe, naught to repose, Reluctant to hope, Poseidon be, a clever foe. Sailing onward in wreckage mixed, Moonlight breaks a masking mist. Momentary moved shadows allow glimpse. A delicate visage, a tenderly veiled nymph. Images of bonnet, precariously tipped. Locks soaked glisten, ebony in tint. An entrancing imagining, a delusion, one of myth. Echoing such sonnetry, from fare pursed lips. Eloquence tossed aloft, carried by winds. Vision obscured, oceans wrath come again. Figure vanishing, countenance fades dim, What vanity, this fantasy has been. A faint radiant shimmer, naught but meager glimmer. Piercing sable night, what could be this luminous sight. Trick nay projection, a clever self-deception. Following blindly, sinking, swaying, meandering time decaying. Crushed beneath tide, tantalizing feelings, left far behind. Tickling sounds, jarring inside, ever urging forth, Toward distant shorelines, What lies ahead, this twisted, cosmic joyride. A future perceived, past, presently meet, Churning hourglasses ride, bruised, beaten in tides. Where sky's greet, at divide, vast oceans reside. wreathed in grief, gilded light beckons to me. Twisted marauding thoughts, never entwine, Equal parts hope & dread, threaten, remind. Hammering upon rational, bittersweet, darkly divine. Enigma's conclusions, questioning's, elusive, Bitter battles furtive, waged endless, never conclusive. Thundering vortex's never muted. Guided slowly now by radiance bright. Venturing forth, continuous this night, A tempest shifts remaining haze forthright, Blustering winds die down, a simple respite. Beckoning, distant, laying just from sight, Eyes transfixed, a tower engulfed, halo tight. Glowing Neptune above, glowering Poseidon below, Goal yet in hand, safe harbor, seething gloom. Path lay strewn, whether redemption, or nigh doom, Enshroud, doubting intent, nearer still, broken raft adrift. Traveling onward, break waters growl seeming clearer, Washing ashore land seductively familiar. Tentative steps, taken sober, lustrous tower, ever grows closer. Its gaze dismays, penetrating, telling of closure. Tracks in sand string behind, silt locked, printed over. Ebbing cool waters, kiss, caress the former, Waves erase, dispersing, fine phantoms, their presence moreover. Foundation ancient, laid bare, cleansed over, Burnished marbled slate, once again restores order. Stumbling onward, this journey, not complete, Cometh babbling brook, wax & wain, eloquently. Rushing, now confronting, shield of salt, so encasing. Rinsing clean, a changing seed, new birth, a second coming. Neptune contented watching, Poseidon naught but judging, Times gears grind, unstopping, closer creeping, ever knocking. Sweet symphony falls, the melody entrancing, Heart throbs in chest, ears are aching. Reverberations thrumming, meaning's blurred, dreams struggling. Siren's serenade, melting walls, long erected, Breaching bastions, set to crumble, rather miraculous, intentions puzzle, be it figment, kindling asunder, End in regret, continuing wonder. Following stream, whence does it flow, Deceptive mirage, a well uniquely bold. Treading in currents, tantalizing steps, Up further still, lonely peak, does one ascent. Revealed now tower, stands before thee, Walls standing proudly,masking soliloquy. Built stern, stone not benign,weather etched, aperture ill defined, Hewed delicate, cracked of time, swathed in moss, vibrantly sublime. What wonders hide contained within, tower found at journey's end. Ambling ahead, leaden in step, Whisper springs forth, energy is spent. Fraught with musings, melodious, alluring, Ethereal flames, intangible, difficulty discerning, Peering beyond, blinding shaft, deepest yearning. Door made of heather, key continuously alluding. Back to stone, pondering scene, intuition assuming. Hand reaching down, to pocket exhuming. Battered, twisted, corroded, sensation intruding. A tarnished mass, empathy broken, yester years' concluding. What tapestry doth now weave, siren of the sea, Still wondering, further sonnets, hidden under bonnet, Weaved glistening threads, metaphor, simile. Gaze down, pondering ground, does thee posses, solvent renowned. Is it a word, or gesture, omission dangerously clever, Sitting now, staring east, no closer, nor at ease. Sun licking mottled horizon, dances to enlighten. Tell me siren what is it, what is it that you see, Eternally gazing, out at the deep. What is it, your siren's song, tangible or a dream...
