Decor est Aspicio

She was beautiful
No Grace Kelly
Beautiful nonetheless
Her mind kin to her appearance

And he loved her

Rarely said it of course

Mortal
He would not claim
To love her for all eternity

Mindful of human taciturn nature
He dared not proffer
To love her unto death

He eschewed convention
Clichés
Simply maintaining his loyalty

Cognizant of words
He was reticent to
Aver his love
Lest he wreak havoc
On that words
Power

Yes

She is beautiful

And he loves her

As is his way
