SHE CONFUSES THE MIND


She confuses the mind

Her serpant leads her on.
She comes out beginning to prowl
Whether through the darkness of night
or the brightest of  the new days.
The wind carries the sirens song.
She lures in all those that travel.
Then send the serpant in for the bite.


She's been the cause for  the demise
of many of the eager young Sailors.
She confuses the mind and their senses,
With her alluring songs and temptations.
Gazing straight into her dark eyes,
ensnares them as she leads them to her lair.
leaving them unable to put up any defenses

I'm a wife and mother of 2 grown kids. I have 6 cats, Mostly females. I write a lot of poetry and have 2 novels ready to publish. I use both my birth name and my married name for writing and facebook to separate me from others that have the same names. I live with a lot of health issues. I worked till 2012 before things increased. in the way of issues. so now I volunteer in 3 places and do housework and writing the rest of the time. There is a lot more to me than just this little bit.
