Siren

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

You know those women you come in contact with, who captivate?
The ones who have such an amazing presence, you can’t take your eyes off them!
The ones whose eyes draw you in;
And, when they begin speaking, your ears refuse to hear anything else!

Sunday, January 11, 2004




Si·ren n.
1. Greek Mythology. One of a group of sea nymphs who by their sweet
singing lured mariners to destruction on the rocks surrounding their island.
2. siren A woman regarded as seductive and beautiful.


The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

She brushes her sweater with her hand;
Casts a furtive sideways glance,
Pretending not to look at me.
Would I even stand a chance?

A bold sweet seed of roughest stock;
You’d never know it from her face
And body that so many envy;
Her beauty surpassed only by her grace.

Her eyes compel me -- drink of them;
Her smile, addictive drug so strong;
Her every movement captivates;
Her voice and laughter siren’s song.

Most guys only look at them and never speak to those type of women. That's how I got my wife, I opened my mouth and out came something similar to, but not entirely like English, she laughed and fell in love with me.

Siren's tend to be lonely, because men are afraid to ask them for a dance. The rest of the females wish they could have that problem, not understanding what they are wishing for. In many ways you have captured this quite well in this write.

you got this one right I think Jeff ! Yep, some to them amazingly gorgeous, and it always good to be so when you play the role, smiles, Bt it is still true I think, that the prettier are prettier inside first, and if you have both, well you just don't have a chance, a great depiction of what men, so ignorant, and ego swollen, are up against, al
