FORBIDDEN GIFT

A priceless escape from reality...

You revived last night.
All through a cursed gift.
A gift of momentary happiness
And the curse of remembering you.
Once again.

Dressed in a glamourous gown, I held my head high
Extravagant curtains draped the grand hall,
with a crowd fitting for a royal ball.
There you were among the sea of faces,
completely obvlivious of what's to come.

Then you turned, my heart skipping a beat,
just the way yours did.
Our eyes connected as did our souls.
I missed that aching feeling,
the feeling that made you whole.

You walked over, the talking drowned out.
The two of us alone, we didn't breathe.
I waited till you disappear, I waited till you walk away.
You didn't and we reemerged inside my head
Your hand reached out, stroking my cheek 
as I etched your handsome features redefined in a suit.

Suddenly in your arms, I didn't move.
I held you tight, you holding me tighter.
You whispered in my ear the priceless words
"If I had known you will make me feel this way
I would never have gone.."

My eyes forced open, you vanished.
Dull light flooded into my mediocre room
Still felt your warm arms wrapped around me,
But it was only my blanket.

Oh man do I know that feeling of being so much more intuned with the mind's sweet illusion rather than what the real world has in store for you, gosh damn what a bore..... All rhyming rhythmics aside this was well fleshed out and kept me reading perhaps because no matter the age, gender or personality type we've all at least once had a dream that was too good to be true.

This poem is basically what everyone has had before. I like the last stanza the most. Keep up the good work.

Well written piece. I think overall this is relatable in many aspects. Most of us have been in that place when we're so close to having something and it slips away.

[Red Rose]

Thank you..

Breath-takingly beautiful! Only if we knew what it feels like to really be loved.. I loved reading this!

[Red Rose]

Thanx! I really did dream this.. And he really did say "If I had known you will make me feel this way I would never have gone.."
Thanx again!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ohh that's nice! You are welcome! My pleasure ☺

This is a very good piece. It shows the mind set of one that desires someone but they know they can not have them. I have had many dreams that were like this. Dreams like this make you feel safe and at peace. The mind is power and allows you to feel things that are not happening. This is well worded and I enjoyed the read very much. Yours truely a mad lord

That's why dreams are so powerful. A future warning, or the longing for a secret encounter. Great poem.

[Red Rose]

Powerful indeed..
Thanx for the sweet review!

[Tazeen Ahmed]

The expressions used to describe a dream is so pleasing...
It's quite creative..
I really enjoyed reading it line by line, mesmerized with the love that flows through

[Tazeen Ahmed]

Btw I'm curious to know why was it called a Forbidden gift?

[Red Rose]

I think you already know the answer to that.. ;)

[Red Rose]

Also thanx a lot! It means a lot to me coming from you.. =)

[Tazeen Ahmed]

Yeah , maybe

You're very welcome
