Sirens song

This is a sonnet about sirens, whose voice is said to have sunk sailors. I'm still deciding whether to make it a long poem or a short one. So this is a short version.  It's about a sailor who sinks to his death after listening to the sirens song. Enjoy (:

Away, away, from afar, I hear

A mysteriously enchanting melody

As tears well up in these eyes of mine,

Astonished I was, for I never cried

Amidst my tears, I can see the ocean

Arising with the oncoming storm

Across, was the island of the singing sirens

And I then understood, it was their voice

Agonizingly beautiful; it made me sigh

Admire I did, yes, I did admire

Angelic they were, so pure, so sweet

All filled with deep, unexplainable emotions

Adrift, I felt, until I realized I was sinking

Asleep, I lie now, beneath the dark waters...

So... yeah, maybe you had already figured it out, but all the sentences begin with A
^^

Do you think this poem should be longer, or is this good enough?
