Sonnet 45: Those Actions That Love Committed Deemed Wrong Poem by David Wood

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