what she is not. aug 4, 2024

 

Shakespeare said her eyes

are not as bright as sunlight

 and coral far more red than her lips

her breast not nearly as white as snow

and her hair is black as wire

and if her cheeks blush

 it is not nearly as comely as a rose

and her breath not nearly as sweet

and her voice does not always music make

and no goddess is she

that floats above the ground

 on what she strides

and yet…

and yet…

this love of his is

is still Divine

more Worthy than precious stones

 more potent than sun, rose or coral

 and for all this he loves her still

so as for him

as go I as well
