Romance cannot bloom

Romance cannot bloom
Near a running nose
The vicous snot slimily escaping
Congregating on brink of upper lip
Brushed aside with darting tongue
Oozing river of yellowbrown slick
An oil spill on your face
The nose a broken rig
Releasing pollutants all around
Then there are the sounds
Dainty sniffles like a dog
Or the hoarse deep grunting of a hog
As this dribbling sticky mass
This noxious nose explosion on a lass
Such an outpouring of unhealthiness
From the one you would call dear
To think you kissed those lips
Now dried and cracked and far too hot
On which breed the body's enemy
The rheumy red eyed stare
All those sounds of movement
Deep inside her chest
As if there is a reservoir of grot
Deep inside wanting to get out
An alien waiting to punch on out
She demands keep a bowl close at hand
Caught unexpectedly your truelove clears her throat
A sound not dissimilar to a camel
Clearing a troublesome icky cud
Emitted from the darling of your dreams
Who in infection become nightmare
This burning fevered incubus of phelgm
Dripping snorting grunting
Sneezing wheezing coughing
Sickly pale red eyes burning
Madam of contagion obnoxious
No romance you will find here
As she settles on your shoulder
And a kissing string of snot
Joins your neck to her swollen nose
This diseased monster complete
Who you chose to love
And now you must endure her snoring sleep.
