They Are the Sun

They are the sun--
Hurting you with but a look--
Bewitching as the red rays of the morning dawn.
With only a glance Cupid is your victor--
Many times the better of even the mighty Zeus--
Alas so painful is their beauty...
So hypnotizing...
They are a slayer of men and women alike.
For so powerful be their attraction that like the Sirens of old
To linger upon would be thy doom--
A gift from the gods...a gift of Aphrodite...
And a curse of Fantasia,
Gigantomastia

                             
                               10/23/'13
                               Gigantomastia: They are the sun

don't understand this one.... you need to add some flow in here... especially, cause you are talking about beauty and Gods... don't know where the hurt comes in... anyways... i think you should remove the second line... you don't need it.... laterz...PD
