From King Menelaus Of Sparta To Helen Of Troy Poem by Gert Strydom

From King Menelaus Of Sparta To Helen Of Troy



I reproach you that you drive me to war
that you set the lives of thousands of soldiers
into havoc and danger
that you regard passion higher than love,
higher than each life in Troy,
that your beauty burns with a noble fire
which devours everything,
that you draw it like a weapon
and do not regard
the calamity, destruction and misery
which your deeds bring.
