I awaken from my slumber
To the sound of waves colliding against my ears
Drops of salty water run down my body
Under the scorching heat, lost, alone on an empty vessel
No crew, no critters to appease my insanity
I find myself drifting into the endless sea
Am I prepared to accept this destiny?
The Siren calls out to me
For so long, I’ve been deprived of the blissful sound of lust
Tonight, I yield to temptation
Ready to compose the most beautiful song, alongside this majestic creature
As she draws near, she starts to sing
So soft and sweet, yet filled with melancholy
The scent of lavender and ginger from burning candles fills the air
Taking a deep breath, I begin to conduct the orchestra
Watching her dance, following my movements
She comes closer and opens her book
Filled with curiosity, I turn her pages
Drawing notes on her fragile silk-like paper
To the sound of her symphony
I follow her melody, until we reach perfect unison
Her rhythm, her voice resonates within the atmosphere
Shaking every bit of my soul
This overwhelming feeling urges me to give in
To let the last drop of ink complete this masterpiece
As I write the last note, melancholy changes into ecstasy
