Honor

(Some courtly love inspired poetry.)

c. John William Waterhouse

How do I honor thee?

My Lord of faith and virtue, 

Soul mate of my heart,

Keeper of my mind.

You defend my honor.

A noble knight you are,

If you were to be lost,

It would never be forever.

I await your return,

A return so long overdue.

A return to my heart.

From a heart which loves,

For a love that is so true.

~ A. C. McMillin c. 1996
