Of What Is Love's Stake


Love walks away...
Day-in day-out on what heart wants,
Leading astray...
What heart needs, hurting what lust flaunts

Against heart's will;
Tomorrow shall find out the best,
Lust don't run still
To sustain beast; a trying test

That locks up joy,
Of unrest gauge- swinging heart's eyes
Like a playboy,
Whose smartness can't hang up late sighs

Wandering near love,
Enough to beat tricks; lust employs.
Quest seems a dove-
Taking love down on track, hade poise!

What is love's stake,
If life ends all dreamy heart, wished?
Lust brings such ache...
Upon all love builds long vanished!

Yet hope stands firm,
To conscious choice of what love hate.
Running off term;
All day long till nonsense negate

Lustful hope's time,
Reaching for timing, love would stop
Heart rating crime
Love negate towards been the top.
