Shipwrecked!

   Out by the bay, a beacon of light,
   shines deep into my soul. In the thought I might
   see the warning given from a distance,
   to keep away. Yet I am attracted.
   
   No keeper there now. A lone star, whose long
   vivid stare beckons me closer, like a sirens song,
   a fatal history of doom. Yet for all
   the omens, I am attracted.
   
   My arms outstretched, her calling of lust
   cuts me deep as I flounder, on the dust
   of a desert, no bigger than my heart.
   Yet despite it all, I am attracted.

      It reminds me of one I wrote a few months back. I've been afraid to publish it.  I am not knowledgeable about poetry in general. Thanks for having the courage to publish yours. I am learning quite a bit  from each person I read. I don't know much, but I know I liked this!

   I am attracted because
   alone too long
   any diva could steal me for a song
   and I am still attracted
   
   A glass of wine and loaf of bread
   the table set to tend our romance
   she tosses her head and tips her glass
   yes, yes, I am so attracted
   
   forgive me, forgive me
   couldn't help myself
