Sonnet # 2
Luis A. Estable 1958 (Oriente, Cuba)
In you a gentle beauty I do see.
We're only friends, but down deep in my heart
I celebrate your soul so silently.
Then, I think of your eyes as precious art
For in your letters of much honesty
I read their words as if I were a boy
Who wants to yell with tears but cheerfully,
"Bring me that girl, I want to dance in joy!'
So, you can see my seeing you is pure.
I have you as water clean, fresh, too, divine.
But something I do have not really sure.
If after this your wish is to be mine.
Your soul so gladly gives her breath away
To every coming of the dawn of day.
