Songs of Lorelei

 
 
 
 
 
The Songs Of Lorelei
 
 
Just beyond the dim at the edge of the woods
it waits...
pacing within the standing shadows
the beast seems to expand upon its own sense
growing stronger
more certain that it will prevail
not by rending limbs from torso
nor by consuming pathos -
it merely waits with stillness.
 
 
Lorelei’s mesmerizing arias
 augur fate
alluring the heart to its silencing end
while voices of chaos exude an ominous presence
that spreads through every cell and fiber
and thus, the beast becomes one with thought
as it draws away all reason and tilts balance
with irresistible dance steps towards oblivion
leaving only the wailings of an inharmonious fate.
