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
