Aphrodite's Pearl


The face of aphrodite in the pearl

You desire the same passion and fragrance

Heavenly your future will not unfurl

Affairs always meet her with impatience

Unfaithful her pale beauty will reflect

The pomegranet left to stain the pearl

Of her perfect vision, never suspect

Distracted by love, the ocean will twirl

Ruin her purity, rip her away

The heart a tyrant, the goddess a slave

Unable to behave, she will not stay

Standing still with a bold heart, being brave

Pomegranets decide to give their heart

Back to the sea beautiful pearls depart
