So the myth unfolds here
From pages marred with brushstrokes of ocean
The beleaguered boat sloshing to shore
In a brawny gyre
Upon these waves, the tossed dreams of eons
The toll of battles
Stifled cries and sunken jewels
The soft copper of your hair
Streams from the mast
Of a pirate ship
As you have sailed the foaming waves
With ease and abandon
Singing the illustrious songs of the Sirens
Perhaps it was you all along
Who lead Ulysses astray
Depriving him of a last solace,
The days of extinct familial bonds
As they were sliced swiftly
By the bow of a drifting boat
