Those actions that love committed deemed wrong <br />When temptation does lead Love’s heart astray, <br />Whose eloquent words seem like a new song, <br />That ruin true love must be kept at bay. <br />The love at home is worth keeping sweet <br />And indiscreet liaison’s not worth it <br />Many are caught out when secret love’s meet <br />So, to second hand love best not commit. <br />But true love overcomes all temptation <br />So commit yourself fully to its cause <br />And do not seek out a new sensation <br />You will only suffer pain by its claws. <br />Why have a takeaway when there’s steak at home <br />Eyes feasted on your heart’s love do not roam.<br /><br />David Wood<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-45-those-actions-that-love-committed-deemed-wrong/
