Lovely Poem by Vanessa Kingsley

The sun’s glow starts to fade
It shutters and it trembles against the waves
Dark and invisible, are the water’s depths
When the horizon starts to blend in with the world

Quiet; time stands still
Is there ever really silence
In our will
The thoughts in our mind can become violent

Golden rays, disappear into the water
Clear are the ripples in the surface
As it shimmers with the fading light
Before being swallowed whole

The, suddenly, as the stars came out
And clutter the shy
A sound emits
So lovely and sincere

Enticing and luring
We never thing
Never ever the thing

Follow the sound
No fallacy could it be
Listen to the lovely
Listen to the lovely

The ocean’s call?
It has to be a siren
Watching us and planning
Our demise so plainly

But listen
How can this thing be evil?
When such good resounds through the air
How can we not go there?

The water
Can you see the surface tremble?
The picture of the night sky obscured
The moon and stars dancing wildly

To the lovely music
Lovely, lovely music
Deadly, luring music.


Oh no
The siren’s sing so sweet
Just watch the sailors start to drown
Their ship is going down

Oh no the water’s so deep and cool
I bet you anyone could drown
Anyone could drown

The ripples settle and disperse
All around, the water doesn’t move
Bobbing gently, up and down
Waiting for them to start again

Swimming in liquid glass
The stars are coming out
A loud silence is filling up the ears
Before the water calls again

Oh no
The sailor’s following the lovely thing
Straight to the bottom deep
Into the arms of the lovely

Oh no
The angel of the ocean
Decided to sing her lovely song
She sang it all night long.
