with graceful words you scathe

and sting with gentle flame

from you would i receive

words' softly searing blame

with love i do accept

that which is your claim

nor shall it divert me

love remains the same

dark night, day dawns slowly

and there is just one aim

steady and with no doubt

my voice will call your name

i was surprised that i could do the 'old fashioned' feel here. i am not very good at poetry with a formal tone. i am not even sure how i did that, i did not try as such, but the person i wrote this of/to/for, was older, so maybe that did the trick.
