Faces

If I could have the enigmatic face of Monalisa, If I could be that face which carries secret in a smile, then maybe you could be My Leonardo,the artist in my time. If I could be the Queen of Egypt,Be Seductress Cleopatra, Have Her power and Her strength,then maybe I could be wrapped in a carpet,be Undressed by Julius Caesar's hands. If I could be the beauty,Helen of the Troy,then maybe ships would sail towards me,and be abducted by men's joy. If I could be the Goddess, of passion and romance, If I could be the sensual Aphrodite,with Ares have my chance. If I could have the courage,be brave as Joan of Arc, then maye I die burnt at stake, wins freedom in my heart. If I could be these many Special Women,If Only I could be, then maybe, yes,just maybe,You can be,You can be'The Poet' who dedicates a sonnet, just for me.
