Passionate infatuation

I once knew a man
He got caught in a passionate flight

He did all he can

Not to taste infatuation might

His life unrolled like an odyssey

And soon enough had a siren to pass

She enticed him with her body

And stuck his soul with a mass

He was a traveller, far and away

With wife and children home

No other game to play

Than to play out of Homerus' tome

He managed to free himself

Of desire's chain and ball

By luck or good reason, himself

He heard integrity's call

Life is lived whatever way

But once by loyalty's negation

Dishonesty then is to stay

As hurting passionate infatuation
