Forbidden

To...want

To...desire

Sparks...fire

To...need

To...want more than a dream

The one who attracts

The one who taunts

And haunts...

My dreams

My heart screams...

"Him! I want him!"

The one who smiles warmly...

No...hungrily

The one who makes me smile shyly...

No...knowingly

Knowing how he wants me

To...want

To...see the invisible fire

To...admire

To...be dauntless

Not...hauntless

The one undaunted

The one who knows nothing of the things of which I am haunted

The one who fills my dreams with his voice

And...somehow leaves my heart no choice

But to want him

The one whose touch can be so kind

Riddled with little sparks of desire

The one who can be so hard to find

And leaves my brain growling,

"No! He's forbidden!"

To...want

To...receive the kiss

Not...poison

Yet...the mouth is his

Forbidden...fire

"Play with fire, you'll get burned"

But the desire is fire returned

Forbidden...desire

Don't just quietly admire

To...play with fire

To...proudly admire

To...touch the poison being

Not...fully seeing

The one forbidden

"Him! I want him!"

"NO!  He's FORBIDDEN!"

Which way do I go?

Author's Note

A little something I dreamed up on the bus home after school. :) Don't know how much sense it makes.

Oh the power of temptation. You beautifully described in this rant like poem about the internal battle of temptation. It seems when someone is forbidden it makes the allure of him or her more appetizing which you gave a wonderful description of. Thank you so much for sharing this apple from the tree of knowledge.

A very powerful, moving dream. Yes, I know so many can relate to this, the wanting of one who is forbidden, but who awakens fire in the soul. Amazing rhythm that drives into this darkness.

Thanks. I mean - I had hoped that the "..." would provide a sense that one was thinking. It sort of came out as the way I was thinking and feeling about the whole matter with the person I spoke of.

[Inject Positivity]

It does make sense, I think you have quite craftly presented a beautiful picture of forbidden love for the person you have mentioned, I like the set up and the intensity of the poem... The question that you have asked in the last after describing the whole thing is thought provoking... Well done frnd...

Sincerely

Engaging. It does make sense, it paints a pretty clear picture. I makes me remember similar thoughts. Frustrations? Apparently, the bus is a good spot for creative musing

[Tessa Melendez]

The bus is a good spot when you have earbuds on and sit by yourself thinking as you look out the window. It's like the quote: "A writer is working when looking out the window."

Wow. This is one heck of a love poem, and it really captures forbidden love from afar, which is a thing many people suffer from. Really enjoyed your poem!
