The loveliest creatures that walk side by side

Take off your make up, my love,
That painted disguise, your facial glove,
For I have seen you in your total nakedness
With my eyes closed and I saw no blemishes.

Other women powder their cheeks white,
And to top it off paint their lips bright,
Barring the laymen's gaze from prodding inside,
Whereas you my love have nothing to hide.

I could just carry off one of them on my shoulders
Alpha-male style but tarry a little, listen awhile,
In twenty years' time no amount of paint would suffice them,
While your nakedness shines brightly still like a rare gem.

So let the two of us, the naked women
And the ragged man shun romantic conventions,
We in our unsightliness have nothing to hide,
For we are indeed the loveliest creatures that ever walk side by side.
