The Lorelei
written by: Cindy Medina

I beheld the Lorelei when the Moon hung quarter-full
Her beauty and siren song lured my mind into a lull
Atop a wind-worn peak sat the lovely nymph on high
Her silvery notes rivaled by star beams in the nigh
Came the Moon half-lit; spellbound I again drew near
Midst flashing fish and night breeze Her siren song to hear
Fellows aghast at my venture warned me stay away
For all others drawn to Lorelei a sad fate therein lay
When shone Luna full and bright, then up to Her I climbed
Tresses green, eyes black jade, nippled bosom sublime!
Moist lips tinted coral parted in sad mysterious song
All sense gone and passion blazing, my desire strong!
…
Luna is old and waning, this asylum medicine tastes bad
They won’t believe She loved me, only that I’m quite mad.
