Ode To a Spartan Soldier

Eyes like the Aegean Sea, Burn with a passion for life. Like underwater volcanoes that erupt and make the sea rage. Poseidon striking the sea floor. With the intensity for experience, Like the fire that smolders deep within your essence; As if Hephaestus, God of Fire placed this potency within your heart. Raven tresses frame the noble gentleman Traveling along his journey like a silent Spartan: King Leonidas. With Themis and Dike protecting him in battle; guiding his sword and shield. Appointing him to be the leader of justice for mankind. Like the regal Lion that sits upon his golden throne high in the Heavens for all to see. Forever etched in the memories of men: so are you--endless; Sitting with Hercules on Mount Olympus. Celestial orbs safeguard the one whose utterances are as vast as the mountainous landscape. And whose songs are as boundless as the sea itself.
