The Only Face

The Only Face...

It has launched a thousand ships
A thousand ships or two
It's a good face, for anyone to see
It's a face ingrained in their minds
It's the only face that I see.
Between you and me!
A better, face you wouldn't see so far I can see
It's launched thousands of ships
Sailing the seas
I being one of those maidens
Has stayed in my memory
So full of strength, that face of his
Those seeds you've cast upon my mind.
Roaming across the miles goes he!!
Fathoms, deep skimming across the seas.
Distant lands hollering...
Oi there me beauty's me, dearies
He'd came, a hollering
His longboat, the Vikings of old
So in love or lust, those maidens would he
As he came cruising around the headland
Disheveled hair he came a running upon the shore
As he landed in paradise their god...
In their primitiveness once more
Like never before as they carried he shoulder high
Ambiguity to be seen not anywhere
Hollering like a war game
Carrying their man with the long red hair
His eyes blue, so blue gazing far & wide
This paradise land, beyond the horizon far
The bluest of skies
Whispering winds, swaying in the breeze,
The mountains high the lagoons
Those waterfalls, so blue
Like a gossamer curtain shimmering in the sun.
Crystal clear diamonds scintillating
In the noonday, before madness sets in
Scanning his eyes far and wide,
A land spoiled not, by man, a paradise land
Being carried shoulder high
Through his paradise his domain,
He ruled with fairness and love
His heart, his maidens retained
As they proudly stood by
With mischievousness in they're eyes
As they gazed into his face,
A face brimming with love
For his beauty's on the horizon far
Fathoms deep, across the miles
A face that launched ten thousand ships.
But those long boats in their minds mind 
Those pirates that he ruled with a fist of iron
Recognised was he, hollering he arrived
Drums beating, infernally Vikings of old
Rampaging manically...
But the face the only face refrain they could not 
In far distant lands, recollecting... 
He that ruled their, world.
With fairness & love
Carrying him shoulder high
Their god, with the long red hair;
And the bluest of blue eyes.
