Removing jealous nerves from out my brain
You'll view the surge your seeking eye had made
And if so fluttered harmless, why disdain?
Deny these blackened patches; flirt arrayed
And hold no nose, alluring perfume's age
To bitter scents of envy, wreaking mine,
That seeped a clouded haze, our lover's stage.
To live such mist; I doused my lungs with wine
As then the words are slurred to least offend
For stupors dwell where love's received in mind
Not there I quarrel, there true love's on mend
But here, the tease has love completely blind.

If known the potent nerve behind your strays
Then grasped the luring swill; of drunken days.
