#MythologyRetold

Swimming in the deep blue
Seemingly lost at sea
A beautiful woman calls upon thee
Whispers reach out like tendrils
Wrapped around his body
Luring him in with pleas
A draft catches onto the sails
Encouraged by the breeze
The ship inches closer with ease
Floating bones bob in the water
Too enamored by angelic melodies
He pays no mind and joins in the singing
The sailor begins to rot and decay
Eyes glued to the beauty day after day
Until the ship becomes vacant and drifts away
