Maria's Canto

'Maria's Canto' 


 You bestir me, Aztec Princess 
 Awakening me from slumbers forsaken 
 Taking me on the path to your Caribbean haven 
 To my existence you grant sense. 

 Your mind is keen, shown by a sharp intelligence 
 On your countenance, your honey skin a godly sheen 
 In all you've been, as woman and goddess 
 Heaven and Earth will you rule as queen, but to me 

 To me you are the premiere enchantress.
