And combs her soft
flaxen hair.
Too many heed not
the warnings
That urge us all to
beware.
Her golden
demeanor’s bewitching,
Her true intentions
disguised.
Her radiance dazzles
the viewer.
Onlookers stare,
mesmerized.
Mellifluous sounds
fill the canyons
And fill the heart
with desire.
The Lorelei leaves
you defenseless;
Nothing can put out
the fire.
Vigilance dissipates
quickly.
The sailor far too
late learns
That carelessness
leads to disaster.
The river has
dangerous turns.
Sailors, beware of
distractions.
Watch out for
dangers that loom.
Don't be beguiled by
enticements
That beckon you to
your doom.
