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.
