An Impossible Jewel

far out of the depths of human perception
comes a lass of perfect perfection
but though I be tempted and seduced
and far from my mind's eye be reduced
to yet a blithering fool
that I could desire such an impossible jewel

and gazing deeply into her luscious eyes
I beheld an eerie, mysterious surprise
I found such a truth that my heart didst not believe
that this beautiful lass was in love with me
