AGELESS BEAUTY

Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe died so young an age,

Ageing will never be a problem for her.

Age can never rob Marilyn Monroe's beauty.

Throughout the ages, an ageless beauty.



Marilyn Monroe fascinating legend rest on

Her SOME LIKE IT HOT yet vulnerable screen magnetism,

Magnificent persona of a masterpiece of beauty, that

Mere mention of MM or a Marilyn brings memories of her.

Moreover it is a moving memoir of a nobody's child to everybody's idol.



Her mother named her Norma Jean Baker,

Her father, a mystery and her mother, sent to madhouse.

Became one of THE MISFITS in a long line of foster home.

Her incredible tale from rags to riches,

Epitomised American dream of small town girl making it big,

Also, astounding feat of making mark in her time and all times.

Is a typical HOMETOWN' S STORY of a girl who took a ride

To a BUS STOP at the ASPHALT JUNGLE called Hollywood.

She knew that THERE IS NO BUSINESS LIKE SHOW BUSINESS,

Where the past does not matter, only beauty and talent will pass muster.

Studied and honed her skills in acting, singing and dancing,

Told that men, that GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES,

Made her smashing, smart move to dye her hair

And changed her name to M A-R-I-L-Y-N M-O-N-R-O-E.



Her curvaceous figure, sultry LET'S MAKE LOVE look

Played to the hilt in the film NIAGARA

Got her torrents of fans and meteoric momentum to sex symbol status.

She starred in HOW TO MARRY A MILLIONAIRE,

Sang her well known song, DIAMONDS ARE A GIRL BEST FRIEND,

Had marvellous face and figure to marry one yet did not.

Marilyn Monroe was no materialistic money grabber, much inspired

Men in her life, flickering romantic glow, glimmering after she had gone;

One even sent one red rose daily to her grave till too, he was done.



Among her lovers, only one could be called rich and powerful.

The prince in the Kennedy dynasty, President Kennedy.

He and she were THE PRINCE AND THE SHOWGIRL.

Rumoured to have a LOVE NEST at the White House.

She sang famously at the president's birthday party,

Stories of her hope to be THE SEVEN ITCH permanent relief,  

That she : LET'S MAKE IT LEGAL, while

He: WE ARE NOT MARRIED and never will.

SOMETHING GOT TO GIVE; it happened on that August night.

She did a RIVER OF NO RETURN by downing

Pebbles of barbiturates and never woke up again.

Down in doldrums, downed it herself or was forced down?

Merciless measure to muzzle a menace?

Murky mystery,mystifying her myth.



Marilyn Monroe,mainly mesmerizing, matchless sex symbol.
