Odyssey poem, Fairy Tale 2

He locked all his stuff in the storage
And went for a journey around the world.
He left no home behind, no family waiting him back,
He travelled from country to country
Many days, many weeks and months
He wanted to see many things, many buildings
He wanted to touch the growing grapes.

He heard of a Siren
That lived on the island Calypso
He wanted to meet her, to hear her song...

And there she was
So light, so pure
He instantly wanted to guard her.
She sang, and her words,
Every sound she made
Were dragging him close to her.

He asked what she wanted from him, maybe help?
-She wanted him to stay.
He felt like he's losing his mind for her
And when she turned her head he ran away.

He ran away, he thought he is safe,
But her song was still in his head.

He kept with his journey
But every morning
He was waking up hearing her song in his head,
Which kept dragging him back to the island Calypso
To Siren that sang.

He tries to forget, to follow his errands,
To live like he lived before
And its too difficult now
After he heard her song.


Sun is wrapping Calypso with light and warmth
Sea is caressing shores in tune

Siren singing through tears
over note he left:
"I will find my way back to you"
