Shadow of the Butterfly Posted May 27, 2003 Report Posted May 27, 2003 The soft crooning of my name Beckons me forth unto my death Death from wakefullness Dead to this world The Siren of Sleep Whispers to me of sweet lands As yawns overtake my breath Inky blackness swallows me whole Inky blackness covers my vision My eyes clouded with The spell of this Siren Now see with perfect clarity That which was hidden in reality The Siren's cold lips Kiss my closed lids The touch of her hand Brings me to greater depths Leads me towards the quiet Death That all seek But few ever find
Peredhil Posted May 29, 2003 Report Posted May 29, 2003 Interesting. I think I've been this tired... Personally, I'd consider changing 'unto' into 'to' in the second line. You write poems to which I relate, but I wish I didn't!
