Once a upon a odyssey

Just something i came up with :)

A women's beauty has a profound impact.

An impact that causes a war between empires.

One man's heart and one man's honor.

Two fates become one. 

A place out of time.

Under a siege of war.

A place comes together, 

Warriors get ready for an epic clash.

One rich from trade, 

One rich from taxing trade.

They take their swords to each others throats.

Blood flying everywhere.

No man willing to give up his power.

They fight until the very end,

For the blood shed never stops

They fight for every last drop.

So this was my tale of a battle now won.

The fight for Helen of Sparta; 

The fight for Helen of Troy.

The memories that can't be destroyed.

The beauty of Helen killed of a whole country. That is power. She is one of the great mysteries of history. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

It is true that woman's beauty can bring two nations into the battlefield. History has proved this truth. A good poem.

Nothing can cause a war faster, or a truce quicker, then a woman trying to be kept happy or a woman scorned. This was beautifully done and so clever. Good job, my friend.
