“YOU”

“You”

Don’t think I don’t know beauty like yours

A glamour that carries a lustful sting

That pits man and brother in needles wars

Brings to their knees of the gods and kings

For it is your charm that captivates men

And razes kingdoms once vast and boundless

Like sweet Helen of Troy’s lustful sin

That felled two nations with her beatific kiss.

So begone, cruel temptress! Be on the way!

I won’t yield to you by any means!

At least, that’s what I should probably say

But you’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve seen

Though you may be poison through and through

I would gladly lose a kingdom for you.
