To Love an Ugly Woman

To Love an Ugly Woman

When I gaze upon your face, I deem it
Not all fit to look with ease. Oh methinks
It quite strange to lust your weird; Your fleshly
Red visage, my eyes see clear, my belly
Disregards the outer form, ‘tis but blood
Which saw first the inner charm, nether flood.

Misshapen lips and squinted eye, wayward thighs,
Lubricious fawns overgrown, so I sigh
And resign to what the primal blood finds
It needs complete its secret dark designs;
To thrust my flesh forth through tangled thorny
Vine, and wrap me rooted in such flirty
Hips, my eyes roll round from your every bounce,
Animal spirits swell within crouched to pounce.

If I see your blessèd heart, I would leave
My eye behind and answer to the call
Of my blood, that deepened sea, and to play
With you a game, of the sky and the ball.
