He came to me a siren
Singing songs from the sea,
Harmonizing my name with longing
And breathing melody:
A memory in blue,
Shades of purple deep.
Singing songs of impassioned mourning,
He stole all sense from me.
And so I gave my body to the rocks
Begging for his touch,
But he evaded my ever grasping hands
And left me in my blood.
And so I lay amongst the birds
As they clawed and pecked my eyes,
Soaking in his songs
Until that moment in which I died.
