Emprise (Noun, em-PRYZE)- An adventurous, daring, or chivalric enterprise.
“But perhaps he was the only one courageous enough to voice an opinion that others might have shared, but were afraid to say, that this whole quixotic emprise had been a bad idea, that they had been fools to attempt an escape.” — John D. Lukacs, Escape From Davao, 2010
Futile
He fought for her
An emprise act of love
Quenching all her desires
Igniting all her fires
Giving into the lust
But for it was futile
She would not love
She only used his trust
For only her needs were to be filled
His lost along the way
With all her lies
This failed act of Emprise
