A Love Forbidden

to love a married man? scandalous love triangle? let's write a poem....

Scrambling through all dusky thought

The motion of a stealthy love

Darting in and out and fraught

With doubt,

A headstone on the plot of pain.

 

Desire seldom follows rules as it

Skirts the outer brink of truth,

One’s youth may seem to excuse

The brashest passion,

The fervent hopes resounding with

The hollowed call of propriety

In need.

 

The obvious facts are brushed away,

The forensic traces of troubled truth

Can cloud all judgment, an ethical question

Cluttered by the hope of youth.

The wrong seems right

With signals crossed.

We all know what forbidden love means, right? I mean, I don't have to draw a picture. What I want the reader to draw is their own conclusions. thx...dan
