He knew it was certainly a crime
To secretly cherish another's dame
But she was so charming
Her beauty was disarming
That in thoughts, he carried her all the time
To cherish one's dame secretly is crime sure though she is charming or disarming. Keep her in thought is not offensive but intangible burden that keeps time wastage. Hope it willl bring conscience to readers. Thanks for sharing.
So he sinned in heart! Well he is not alone. Our most beloved president has admitted to it!
My burden is great; it causes me to drool... every time I pass the Catholic girls' school. Oops! NOW i've sinned. It's my first one today. Why won't those girls, in skirts, come out to play! ? ================================== a little bourbon unburdens me. bri :) p.s. careful, Valsa, or i shall have to start thinking that YOU are NOT a PRUDE! ! !
Carrying someone in thoughts brings a sleep That is so much peaceful and deep It may be my frustration But I live in imagination And one that doesn't exist I keep.
Wow.....! If it is like a sleeping pill, have it and sleep sound! As far as you keep it a secret In the inmost shrine of your heart It is a pleasure But can be a pressure If it would once hit you like a bullet!
This guy must be in great mental pain Falling for a dame he can't attain He'll have to look elsewhere If he wants an affair Or else he will be going insane Thanks Valsa for the fun
Such a clever limerick Valsa that leaves me with a touch of melancholy I could imagine his burden... to be fatally struck so with cupids arrow. The secret is only safe in his thoughts for now.

A great Limerick, Valsa. I also suspect a great truth. There may be many invisible, silent, intangible burdens carried by those who may never acknowledge them. A perfect 10.
