Lady Of the Sea
Lady Of the Sea
Waves crashed on the ocean shore
As I was born
To Rome I am Venus
Beauty and Charm
Were my skills
Love was my game
I married the ugly
To be with the beautiful
Just because I could
Love for me
Killed many men
Because of the jealousy
Among women I spread
The Trojan War I helped begin
Because of my intense greed
To be known as the fairest
Of all my family
By pledging another
Named Helen by birth
To Paris.
Roses Doves Sparrows and Myrtle
All mean love
All are mine
I am the beauty born from the sea
Aphrodite
