Sonnet 1
I've been told the sun in Mexico
Shines brighter than any other place.
I have never gotten to travel though.
I see that brightness in your face.
When the Greeks spoke of Aphrodite,
Did they foresee such a beautiful creature?
A sculpture carved by God Almighty,
His masterpiece with flawless features?
All of nature must bow at your feet,
For Persephone has risen from the ashes.
It was fate that we were able to meet
Through the masquerade ball dances.
Every I blink, I see your elegance,
I pray you won't treat my advance with negligence.
