In a moment unforeseen she was before me among countless faceless others she stood out like a stray sunbeam on a misty day radiant as the moon on a cloudless night extinguishing the stars when she smiled she spoke eternity and spilled incessant sentiments on the soiled floor of my soul
Deep indeed calls to deep, Regis; little I can add about the piquancy of this beauty with its flow and ravishing imagery - but my favourite lines have to be: "She spoke eternity and spilled incessant sentiments on the soiled floor of my soul" - now that's what you call being truly immersed in and cleansed by the purge of love! Being washed and recreated to a fresh, new life. For each yearning soul there must be a "key-holder" to unlock this experience... then the old is stripped away and the new has come. A mystical experience - and like being brought into safe-harbour, I think, rather being sold down the Swanee into danger! Loved this - but then, I love them all! Bless you, Regis. Kate xx

Oh yes, I agree. This can really happen to you.
Did she really look like the girl in the pic? If so-lucky you!!!!
Good one.
Think most folks have covered this to the tee there. Knows the feeling of being lost to siren's spell. Not a bad way to be lost at times I say.
Very nice write

Been there, done that, Regis, or had it done to me! Rene is my siren, she calls to me in the night, her voice that of the wind, her love is everything that is right...Peace and a wonderful one herein, Ed & Rufuz
WOW! Breathtaking artwork and poem. Obviously you didn't see the mermaid movie on Science Fiction network the other day, 'She Monster', about the mermaid Queen. She seduced but then turned montrous! Also in John Michael Greer's book, Monsters, mermaids are listed as 'monsters' but, then again, so are angels :)!
What medium do you use for your artwork? It's gorgeous :)!
Love,
Sandy
I am so glad I came to check your work out. You can write! I wish I had more words for this impactful poem. I will jot them down when I can think of them.
In appreciation and admiration

Excellent imagery, and very exotic!!! I enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing it.
Oh, now you've moved into one of my favorites areas.....Greek mythology - The Odyssey to be specific. Oh how I adore the ancient writings, and this is perfectly formed to fit right into one of Homer's tales.
Weave on, oh mythological poet warrior, The sea beckons & there is much to write about! Absolutely fabulous!
beautiful and exotic...you are truly a lover of women Regis.

Yes so true. And when you date it feels like you've known her all your life.
"she stood out
like a stray sunbeam
on a misty day"
You have a way of creating very vivid images in such few words. The sentence above, a perfect example of it. And the word "stray" is what does it. Not just a sunbeam on a mysty day, but "a stray sunbeam" -- a quick moment; it poignantly ties with "in a moment unforseen" -- unexpectedly -- surprising to the poet.
This is excellent. Loved the images and feeling throughout. Your postings are always a treat.
This poem reminded me so much of Loreli ( spelling?) I lived in Frankfurt Germany for a few years and the siren call is legend there. Can akk men hear her? I wonder????
Great to see you here again.
