my current

Perspective of a siren

I want you in my river

the river

that would swirl around your neck

your jaws

your nose

over your eyes

mingling with your hair

and when you open your eyes

under my blue current

you'll see me

and the eyes of your world, and mine

and the world will blink back at you

and you'll either become breathless

or you'll become water.

But based upon my poem, this is how I'm starting to feel about many things. and I feel like if those people/things/endeavors aren't authentic, they will become breathless and non-living to me, or they can become water and be apart of my current. All at the same time being something very beautiful and enthralling to watch unfurl on life's path.

Maybe the sirens were helping to facilitate a metaphor coming alive- perhaps they facilitated a blending of two worlds.
