The way the sun sculpts your face now
Provides the proof needed for divinity
With utmost grace you are endowed
Enthralled with your voice I feel affinity

With scintillating hair shining in sunlight
Your nose crinkling when you laugh
I find myself in delight
At your company and I have
Come to understand now
How Paris felt the fateful evening
He stole Helen of Troy away

For when I see you
It feels I look at Aphrodite
In the flesh and skin
Oh beautiful Maria

For you today I wrote a play
A tragedy, a comedy
I wrote with florid splendor
For all I want at the end
Of each day
Is to leave you gleeful
In wonder
At the brilliance of my wit
But most of all
My love
The fact I do not quit
