La Sirène Du Ciel

This is my original composition, for which my page is named.

La Sirène Du Ciel

Willow-weighted tones to float
On nothing but a wisp,
The painful, yearning melodies
To well-clad, sea-worn soldiers,
Not far away from journey's end.

"Are you the love I never was to own,
But ere to cling inside my breast?
The one I search for,
From the sea's sheer cliffs
In vain, from morning's dim,
'Til twilight's burning embers
Put out their present light?
Return to me! O fickle, radiant lover,
To melt crystal seclusion in the
Smolder of our agèd flame!"

With sultry sweet she sang the
Sailors to a gentle trance,
And in their eager desperation,
Fell quickly to the salty sea.
Alone she mourned,
Cloaked in ceaseless solitude,
Within the all but soundless world-
Silent,
Save the crashing of the waves and
Her own, exquisite, silver voice.

Hello blogging world!

This is my first dip into the world of the blog, and I'm quite excited! I'm honestly not exactly sure how this blog is going to turn out. From early inclinations, I expect it to be part pitch-a-bitch, part tell-all, part review, part writing platform, part critique on culture, and wholly enjoyable! A little bit about me- I am a musician, getting a degree in Music Therapy, a poet, and a hopeless romantic. The title of my blog, La Sirene Du Ciel, is French for "The Siren of the Sky". It came from one of my poetic compositions, which I will post, and ended up being my blog title solely by the fact that it was the first thing that popped into my imagination! This is a short post, but hopefully I will come up with something more worthwhile to say in the future! I look forward to it!
