Helen of Troy
Helen of Troy
The crème de menthe of her eyes
Cool as mint chocolate ice cream
With whipped cream complexion
Topped in strawberry tresses
With raspberry lipstick
Painted on her wry smile
Like pomegranate stain
To sweeten a night like tonight
When dreams of her kiss
Float in her blueberry eyes
To melt in the gaze
Of my little boy blues
Witness to her fair Helen of Troy face
Afloat her wine dark Aegean waves
That summon the Odysseus
Hiding in my Ithaca
The crème de menthe of her eyes
Cool as mint chocolate ice cream
With whipped cream complexion
Topped in strawberry tresses
With raspberry lipstick
Painted on her wry smile
Like pomegranate stain
To sweeten a night like tonight
When dreams of her kiss
Float in her blueberry eyes
To melt in the gaze
Of my little boy blues
Witness to her fair Helen of Troy face
Afloat her wine dark Aegean waves
That summon the Odysseus
Hiding in my Ithaca
