New Poem

Wrote a new poem today:


Enigma

A siren blessed my sky-bound venture,
Eager to allay my fears.
She bound me with a magic senture,
Christened my sword with sacred tears.

She bid me farewell with a garland kiss,
Never would I see those eyes.
My heart prepared to feel amiss;
Anxiety was my lust’s disguise.

My starlight ship had sails of gold,
Crimson timber held our lives.
My voyage was one oft foretold;
Could I be he who yet survives?

We sailed upon celestial waves,
Praised the faithfulness that saves.
