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.
