Siren.

From across the room,
She smiles at him,
Flicks her hair over her shoulder.

He can't prevent the
longing of his heart,
The desire just to hold her.

Approaching her, his
heart is hungering,
this attraction he can't ignore.

Looking in his eyes,
she casts a cunning
spell, And lures him to the shore.
 
He stumbles to the
sea, holding her hand,
captivated by her beauty.

She whispers in his
ear, "Just one more step
and forever you'll be with me".

Just at that moment,
His friend calls his name,
Running to the shore in alarm.

He turns to the girl,
to find she is gone,
The waves of the sea, still and calm.
