Lost Love
So nonchalant, beyond dull care life seems.
Unveiled beneath, a broken heart that bleeds.
Torn by remorseful reoccurring dreams.
Of love once pure, besmirched through wanton deeds.
A furtive glance, a fine romance that strayed,
In dalliances chains enslaved by lust.
Deflowered knave in shallow trysts betrayed,
A precious love, now crushed bereft of trust.
Exposures shame was losing self-respect.
A humble life that suffers extreme pain.
When shadows fall on manners circumspect.
Suspicions running rife, apprise again.
Until ascetic doctrines renounce sin,
Inveigled by temptation deep within.
