Sonnet 19
Sonnet 19
Have you ever noticed
the gentle tone
in your
voice
your peace and promise
to make a good
choice
your kindness and honor
is a work of
art
so beautiful to twist
the sinews
of a gentleman's
heart
I would go to war for
you my
love
I shall go with such
grace as a
dove
my love for you will
never fall
apart
put a knife in my neck and
a bullet in my
heart
even an arrow near my
breeches
anything to prevent you from
those death- sounding
screeches
so push through your pain
and continuous
strife
I would keep you
smiling if I
could
because believe me I
would
