Love Poem: Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships

Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships

Helens face launched a thousand ships

Do you believe she desired a legacy such as this

To be the center of a war

All for a love that she could not control

Many people live, die and fight for love

It’s the strongest emotion that drives us on

It makes do the craziest of things

It inspires the songs we sing

It’s far better than that feeling of hate

But either one can leave disaster in its wake

Love is powerful, love is strong

Use it with care so that it does no wrong

But as Helen of Troy found out

That when you fall in love without a doubt

It can cause empires to fall

And can wreak havoc with us all

So take care but never be afraid to share

Love with those people for whom you care.
