My Beloved's Uniqueness

My Beloved's Uniqueness

‘My Beloved’s Uniqueness’   for Kira.   I love you for your locks so luscious,

And the soft sensuality of your lips,

The honey-sweet tone of your voice,

The enticing curvature of your hips.   I love you for your golden virtues,

Graceful movements like a minuet,

Gentle humour that so does amuse,

Such wisdom in your talk. And yet –   ‘Twas the philosopher Duns Scotus

Said all things does haeccity possess.

So my love has her unique thisness,

‘Tis that I truly love all else no less.
