Colin Craig's poetry was an unlikely piece of evidence in the long-running legal battle he's waged with former press secretary Rachel MacGregor.
In Thursday's 18,000-word ruling on the case from a High Court judge, two of his works were reproduced. One - 'Two of Me' - sparked a lawsuit of its own when published by Cameron Slater's Whale Oil blog.
The second, titled 'Beautiful', was described as "quite explicit in its sexual interest".
And here it is, verbatim from the ruling.
Beautiful: (please skip this section if inappropriate)
You are beautiful because your eyes are lovely.
You are beautiful because your [sic] look unbelievably good in your new dress.
You are beautiful because you are fearfully and wonderfully made.
You are beautiful because your lips are so amazing to kiss.
You are beautiful because your skin is so soft.
You are beautiful because you have the most perfect ...
(LOL .. Ok I deleted a couple of lines and stopped this section.) Please know that you are beautiful.
Here is the more famous 'Two of Me'.
There is only one of me it's true
But I wish this were not the case
Because I wish that I could have you
If instead of one man, I was two
That would be one for all the others
And one of me, for you.
