Libel Or Slander, I Love Thee

...And so once more I summon
this courage to write of thy frame...
Though I wonder if this time I would
not be seriously charged for libel.
Albeit the last time I spoke of thee
just like this one the very same,
I was adjudged for slander...

But still, the courage to conceal
how much it is I think of thee,
Has never found a root in my heart;
Then how could it the least grow
to take thy thoughts from me?!
It matters not what thou thinkest...
Someday thou might well understand.
