Aphrodite

Not my best...but I may change it sometime later...

This story has yet to be told about Aphrodite,
being a motherless daughter of a dismembered God,
cast into the untamed waves that line the ocean,
left to die in the water by the most beloved son.

She arisen out of whirlpools of the greenish blue ocean,
beginnings may have strange starts with beauty,
she began to wonder if anger can have a home,
or how about love finding a home within betrayal?

She has the ability to turn desires against you,
a strategy for her own purposes so full of deceit,
love doesn't play fair in a time of brutal war,
where her father declares himself to be law.

Bringing the married men to their knees for unjustice cause,
with her skin the color of a lily and golden hair like the sun,
her eyes like the sky when the sun is almost set for the day,
turning you against your marriage vows for your inner lust.

Her beauty and glamour tease you with invitations,
with a wave of her curvy hips or a touch of her wicked hands,
to win the war that's raging by her father in such denial,
she'll end it with the deciet of turning lust into a weapon of hate.

Aphrodite ("Risen From Sea-foam") is the Greek goddess of love and beauty, one of the twelve Olympian gods. In the Iliad, She is the daughter of Zeus and the Titoness Dione, though the usual legend is that She was born from the blood and foam on the surface of the Sea after Ouranos was castrated by Kronos. She represents the creative powers of nature and the sea.
