I will kiss you with the kisses of age,
Filled with French fantasies;
A lamina of Latin language,
With a cistern of English love,
And the saplings of truth.

Let me behold your blindness,
And protect your virginity,
Your sword sharpen will I,
And your laundry man, I will be,
With this, your scale will be balanced.

Your temple will I clean,
The “minister of truth,” my aim,
So that the saplings will grow,
And the sword of justice be safe.

But now, my love is in shackles,
My truths are now lies,
My holiness is dizziness,
My tears are changeless,
And my hope is hopeless.

My love has become hatred,
For my love can now see,
Her blindfolding, removed it is,
And her sword, slighted,
Her robe sowed with blood,
And her scale useless!

Her temple, a brothel;
And a plague for righteousness,
The death of the truth saplings:
The fortress of the corrupt.

I will kiss you with the kisses of age,
Filled with French fantasies;
A lamina of Latin language,
With a cistern of English love,
And the saplings of truth.

This first lines means the writer is very happy with his new found love that's a hyperbole an exaggeration poetic device which is an overstatement.

Let me behold your blindness,
And protect your virginity,
Your sword sharpen will I,
And your laundry man, I will be,
With this, your scale will be balanced.

Still in his happy state ready to do anything for the fondness and love he has found still using hyperbole. ..blindness can't be hold neither virginity can be protected ..laundry man and scale will be balanced represents he is ready to any thing for his love ..

Your temple will I clean,
The “minister of truth,” my aim,
So that the saplings will grow,
And the sword of justice be safe.

Also this is hyperbole also using metaphor.cool

But now, my love is in shackles,
My truths are now lies,
My holiness is dizziness,
My tears are changeless,
And my hope is hopeless.

Now the mood of the writter has changed to sad state he seem hurt and betrayed.he is expressing how he felt now discovering using shackles lies dizziness change less hopeless this are sad words.truly hurt metaphor he uses very well when you using a word to compair other but not using but as is a metaphor for example my holiness is dizziness it compare holiness to dizziness but didn't us as or Like .that's metaphor well done ..

My love has become hatred,
For my love can now see,
Her blindfolding, removed it is,
And her sword, slighted,
Her robe sowed with blood,
And her scale useless!

Placing her as virgin from the previous lines now he discover her clothes is not white now it stain meaning he though she was clean and holy but she is not .....maybe she has been pretending too to be perfect now the writer hate her more


Her temple, a brothel;
And a plague for righteousness,
The death of the truth saplings:
The fortress of the corrupt.

He goes as far to describe her as a prostitute. After the discovering it really hurting when you think some one is perfect good and all that and later discover she was just pretending

Something as perfect as our leader that we think they are ready to obtain justic for us are prostituting (by taking money and giving people favour )the sword of truth which stood for justice.
I hope my explanation is correct

Well done love this poem it opens my heart looking at it literally

I modify some part

BACKGROUND:

The justice system in the country is malled with a lot of regularities. Corruption has taken over the system and this has led to a lot of miscarriages of justice. Corrupt leaders can easily escape its long hands because of the bias and corruption in the system.

You were more interested in words that ryhme and not the depth of emotions which poetry is meant to convey.

These are rhymes not poetry
