Love Poem: An Infliction

An Infliction

I am inflicted with blue eyes and golden hair
Wrapped in a fair skinned temper sure to go nowhere
I'll resist her tempting smile - 'least I say I will
Then I'll tremble and say "please"-  'til I get my fill

I was born pure masculine - warrior through and through
She was born to conquer - now what's a man to do
For I have killed wild boars and I have killed alone
Long clawed cats of Burma that stand at twenty stone

Some will say I'm a clerk - just as they predicted
But they know naught of a man that's been inflicted
Oh, my friend, 'tis a curse those locks of long blonde hair
And eyes you've never seen before - a blue so rare
