Aphrodite
by Cymbre Dolphaygoddess of light and beauty
not the lady of love
she can't comprehend love
it is beyond her
passed from her being
to that of her son
she was so very revered
all those blind Greeks
worshipping a whore
who had no shame
and never tried
to hide her dirty ways
her beauty set her apart
put her on that pedestal
like she was a queen
adultery was her peasant
lust her unending kingdom
but she waged war
on all trusting hearts
why praise her
she is the petal
that loves you not
