The siren sings.
Her tongue can cut and condemn.
As much as it can soothe and soften.
The siren’s heart — as locked as it is unlocked.

The enchantress enchants.
A heart that beats.
A body that bangs.
She is as desirable as decadent.

The enchantress lusts more than she loves.
She is cryptic as much as contradiction.

The siren’s song will draw you in.
It will crash your boat.
It will crush your heart.

The siren seduces.
She is neither fact nor fable.
Powerless by her song.
By her beauty.

The devil in disguise.
You will live.
You will love.
