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 05/31/18 Laura Loo Free Verse Only- Pick a Theme Poetry Contest

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..
