Lorelei

I didnโ€™t know that Marilyn Monroeโ€™s name in โ€œGentlemen Prefer Blondesโ€ was Lorelei Lee, I found it out on Richard Osmanโ€™s โ€œHouse of Gamesโ€ and that kicked me off to write a love poem based on the concept of the Lorelei.

I fell for your Siren Song

My Beautiful Lorelei

Then I Fell In Love Headlong

I caught your beautiful eye

๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

Above the sea, so aloof

Your voice so sweet, Alluring

Be My Queen, You Have My Heart

I Will Never Be Turning

๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

My Lorelei, Sea Maiden

Mermaid girl, With voice of gold

Love your gentle persuasion

One day each other weโ€™ll hold

My Lorelei, I Am Yours

And So This Love Will Endure
