Your Face Could Launch a Thousand Ships

Just like Helen of Troy your face could launch a thousand ships. Your preternatural beauty, arrests the air I breathe. At first glance, time freezes to a standstill. So enviable is the symmetry of your face. Your facial features, perfectly chiseled. Your captivating face, a feast for the eyes Tantamount to fireflies swarming the charcoal sky; even Aphrodite would bow her head in shame before you. Just like Helen of Troy your face could launch a thousand ships. That nose, beautifully centered on your heart-shaped face. Those lips, a rounded cupid's bow. Those amber puppy-dog eyes, brim with love and devastating innocence. Oh, how your face comes alive when you smile at me! Your aura, nothing short of magnetic! The power of your radiant smile could make iceberg explode like dynamite! Just like Helen of Troy your face could launch a thousand ships.
