Casus Belli ( For P.C. )
It is war! The swords, the pikes are sharpened to kill.
Shields, arrows and bows are made for the soldier's duty...
But...thousands to Charon will pay their bill, and thousands more the Lethe's banks will fill.
The gods now have a sooty task...to decide who wins in this conflict... for beauty.
Jet black hair adorns your white and pale shoulder.
Your smile, your gentle laughter puts Aphrodite to the deepest of shame,
And as your cheeks smoulder, two of the brightest blue stars greet the beholder.
All of Greece knows your name and Troy will fight for my claim.
Your scent, fills any room, of fresh freesia and sweet hyacinth.
Your stunning gaze follows me, in small and shy sips.
You're making sure I would be your plinth, your key to life's labyrinth.
And when I look back, you pout your lips and press down with your hips.
From Menelaus's grasp I took you away,
Your lawful husband, guardian and protector.
To your eyes I fell prey, your laugh became the reason for my new day.
Alongside Hector, I fight for your fondness, the sweetest nectar.
No, no, I know what you wish to say...I will not be one Menelaus or Ajax will slay.
Now, my dear, gods join our already mighty foes...
To extinguish your body's perfection.
Even Venus knows, she can't compare when you pose...
Phthonus has blackened her heart to our affection and now even she...desires our abjection.
Sharp to the eye but soft to the touch,
Your curves, any man would kneel at their sight.
Mortal, hybrid or God as such, it won't matter very much.
Cronos has heard the Achaean's plight... though not even he, your divinity could blight.
I do not know how much time I have left on this earth,
Achilles has slain many a friend and ally... he won't stop until he's bled us dry.
If it is to be so, may we find rebirth, so that to you even in another life, I may prove my worth.
I look upon the great blue sky and I know then that your radiance and name shall never die.
