Me And Aphrodite

I beat Sir Edmond Hillary, who conquered Mount Everest first;

For I climbed to the peak of the universe, to quench my sad souls thirst!

When I arrived, I went to put my flag up, and look down upon the world;

And you were waiting there to greet me, as my flag I then unfurled!

I knew you were Aphrodite, the Goddess of all my dreams;

I stood by you in amazement, engulfed in the blazing suns hot beams!

The passion that I felt for you, I’d never known before;

I chanced my vulnerability, and said “I’ll love you evermore”!

I closed my eyes not knowing fate, for Aphrodite had stole my heart;

And then, my wildest dreams came true, when you said we’d never part!

For you told me that you’d been watching me, from the first day of my quest;

And you liked what you were seeing, this man, and his stern test!

So you decided at that moment, that if unaided, I made it to the top;

That you’d bestow me with your eternal love, and time would never stop!

So when I got there, you gently kissed me, and I never was the same;

And we wed up there that morning, as Aphrodite took my name!
