Lorelei

A Short Love Story Inspired by Richard Osman's House of Games

Lorelei

I didn’t know that Marilyn Monroe’s name in β€œGentlemen Prefer Blondes” was Lorelei Lee, I found it out on Richard Osman’s β€œHouse of Games” 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

πŸŒŠπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŠ

Above the sea, so aloof

Your voice so sweet, Alluring

Be My Queen, You Have My Heart

I Will Never Be Turning

πŸŒŠπŸ§œβ€β™€οΈπŸŒŠ

My Lorelei, Sea Maiden

Mermaid girl, With voice of gold

Love your gentle persuasion

One day each other we’ll hold

My Lorelei, I Am Yours

And So This Love Will Endure
