Ulysses' Temptation Poem by Adilson Pinto

Ulysses' Temptation

Rating: 4.0


I beg to the mermaid: don't chant now!
But she does not hear me at all!
Don't chant! This is not time to hear mermaids!
My mind, at this moment, is full of shades!
Notwithstanding, she keeps her enchanted song,
Each time more inspiraded, more strong!
I am an adult man, I cannot give myself to her!
But how can I resist? Please attach me in a chair!
No one listen to me my imploring words; I see
That slowly I am going terribly to be
More one victim - according to my view...
So now I don't see anything else, in her arms
I put myself entirely surrendered to her charms:
I am totally lost into her abyssal appeal...
