Original Sonnets for Marielle / Lilet

STAY THE SAME

Lady change your name, always stay the same,
unforgettable, your touch, sight, and sound,  
putting goddesses of old Greece to shame.

Skin of milky silk, limbs of ivory,
your feel is enough to drive out the mind,
even Hera wife of Zeus would envy.

A beautiful sight beaming radiantly,
beguilingly pure, surely innocent
without the vile wiles of Aphrodite.

Quietly moving, more humbled by praise,
sensible voice that will sing to enchant,
even Athena could not be more wise.

It’s as if the nine Muses could conspire
on the feelings, looks, and songs you inspire.
