Margarita Lillico Poet Italian Sonnet

Open Me First

When I saw you my eyes were caught fore'er,
My heartbeat halted from there on to race
On marathon to win your love and grace,
The gift of life I found, unique and rare.
This jolly Christmas night I take a knee
To our new start together hand-in-hand,
Toward the blue horizons to expand
As two in one, "Will you please marry me!?"
All gifts for you, my precious wife-to-be,
I saved throughout my life that led to you,
And from now on unwrap them, one by one.
Most cherished gift that you bestowed one me:
My heart awoke and that instance I knew
You won it, it's unwrapped, I am your man.
