Dark Siren

Pale blue-green eyes
gazed through the dark haze,
haunting shadows
danced in their aqua depths

Dark siren's song wooed,
tempting her deeper

Lost in pain and loneliness
disease seeped into her being
growing,
spreading numbness
while depleting her energy

Dark siren's song lulled,
willing sleep,
silencing her reality

Determination fought back
awakening tenacity
slicing through bleakness
illuminating her purpose

Dark siren's song beckoned
tirelessly, tempting

Refusing capitulation
she rallied her inner fortitude
waging an exhausting battle,
detangling dark grasping tentacles
...a warrior was born

Dark siren smiled a challenge;
she smiled back

Challenge accepted!

  1. I can see her smiling back, "slicing through bleakness", with teeth.
