A Lover's Reply

I have thought about it 
Without acrimony
This censure of our matrimony
And I am more sure of it
How long ago I fell
Deeply in deepest love with you
My nerve and every cell
Saturated like a night with dew
Brings the fragrance of my strength
Where even heroes and saints lament
Sniff my courage
If you cannot measure my love, I 
Of your faults am not without knowledge
But for faults and you I pine and sigh
Because my love is true
But why, I have no clue.

Honor keeps its place Not where cheap popularity traces foolish causes But where deep committent erase The world's glitch and pauses For the when world falls frail and dead Honor lifts a humble head
