Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships

You were   beautiful to look at
No one could deny
Your smile

The red stain

Your face could launch a thousand ships
What passed your lips would sink them

Robert Lindley Date: 6/3/2018 1:06:00 PM I that have seen such beauty, fallen beneath its gleam, reject my life's duty, to wade thus in its stream.... I wrote this poem fragment in 1976, seems to fit the shining gem you have just presented. A FAV.. Login to Reply
