Punctured Pride


A whole lot of shifts... 
In attentive pride
Love drives against lust, 
To save false focus. 

A sincere heart's gifts-
Faithful fair fun, flied... 
That care can't adjust;
Bed so amorous. 

At will, as time wish
For her pleasure's risk, 
What his fate perish:
Seeker's asterisk 

For one night in turn... 
Sleeping days' tricks burn.
