My Aphrodite
I once had a love
Who was most beautiful to me.
I even went as far
As to call her Aphrodite.
Because she was the one
From which I learned to care.
I loved her deeply back then,
But now she is no longer there.
Though I still have much to learn,
Since I am a mortal man,
She showed me I can do anything
If I truly believe I can.
Just like ancient Greeks of old,
My Aphrodite made me feel like a Hero,
And, just like Hercules, she told
Me, I am no longer a Zero.
I am grateful to have asked
Her to be with me.
And now that she is back in the Heavens,
She is now truly my Aphrodite.
