Analysis of Sonnet # 20

Luis A Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)



I look at man, with him I want to live.
I women eye, my love so proved is shown.
I kiss the child, no color's negative.
At times I feel I have to heaven flown.
Yes, in my mind the world's dissent is sweet.
Not that it rosy lives deep in my heart.
But due, my friend, that paradise I'll meet
One day as sure as the beauty of great art.
No color's bad in this my humble mind.
Repulsive women none through my kind eyes.
When I do die, I want to leave behind
My thoughts, my verse and hope they see my wise.
I know so well the meaning of being good.
I strive towards it to help the poor, I should!
