The Beauty Within

If you have beauty it has passed me by;
I take but slightest interest in such things,
But rather I possess the keenest eye
For what's inside - a mind unwavering,
A rich intellect, and greater than mine,
Though I feel no jealousy, but adore
A beautiful wit; amazing design
That warms my heart and cuts it to the core.
Now I clearly see your handsome features,
And fool was I to ignore such brilliance
As becomes glad nature's finest creatures;
Now will I seek your heart with every sense.
If I ever your great beauty ignored,
Let now my dull senses return restored.
