For You (Greek Mythology Poem)

For you, I'd slay The Nemean Lion, with my bare hand.
Bring him back, laid out, in the very place that you stand.
I'd climb Olympus, & rising on The Mount,
Number all your beauty, to The Lovely Aphrodite, until the point I could no longer count.
 
For you, if you asked, it'd be no big thing,
To go up, ducking lightning, & thunder, & bring Pegasus down, hanging onto a wing.  
And, if you wanted answers, from the all powerful Zeus,
I'd confront him, demanding those answers, reporting back, with no excuse.
 
For you, I'd fight along side The Greeks, in a decade's long, Trojan War.
No king's army too strong, for "The Queen", that I adore.
I'd walk the way of Odysseus, fighting monsters, &
temptation;
Just to arrive at our front door, & receive your  
adulation.
 
For you, I'd take Pandora's closed box, & fling it, with no animosity.
For within you, lies my zenith, & my every curiosity.
For you, I'll be your Perseus, & Cadmus, your heroic dynasty.
No feat, is too great, to earn your love, my sweet majesty.
