Forbidden Love

Message 841 of 1855

Our love is forbidden.
It never should be.
It is easily realized.
We both can see.

Though I can’t help myself
No more than can you.
I doubt we can hide it
From everyone’s view.

So what will we say
When our love comes to light?
Will our feelings go crashing
As rumors take flight?

No one understands
It’s difficult to see.
What would you want
with someone like me?

Could anyone think
We fit like a glove?
Could it possible
We might be in love?

I have something for you.
You have something for me.
Does it really matter
just what that might be?

Should we consider
How others might feel?
Is what we do bad
So our love we conceal?

It’s so hard to fight back
when you’ve done nothing wrong
Yet someone elts thinks
Our love can’t belong.

‘Tis a world full of judgment
In which we are born.
These are the pillars
On which our love is shorn.

A little bit wormy
And it seems like some rot
But these are ideals
Our society has taught.

So do I follow rules
Of someone long dead?
Or fallow my heart
And take you to my bed?

Judgement in question seems to dissolve with the ending. I enjoyed the whole poem, and loved the ending that provokes my imagination to form an answer. Thank you.

Nothing could be more heart wrenching then when life gifts us so many complaints as to each others lives…yet when we are strong and look to God and no one else then there is always that acceptance…I found that strength of character in the very last stanza, darling I love that you illustrate so well the plight of loves path at times …your heart won the day darling very nice indeed I enjoyed you very much this day my heartfelt thank you.

I love this piece ........... an expression of love from the heart though it considers what society thinks. There is an almost light-hearted tone whih gives the feeling that Love is in the air.
