Love Poem: A Forbidden Love

A Forbidden Love

For she is loved but can't be held,
Since formalities don't allow us to meld.
It's but a bond of the ages, 
Which has freed us from our cages.

Will the system keep us away,
Or will romance have its day.
This is a taboo connection shrouded in mystery,
Which shall remain with me for all of history.

What to say has been said,
This angel comforted me when I thought I was dead.
It has been like being reborn from another,
Not only is Shanta my therapist and love but she's also my mother.

Now I fight for what can be,
Not just me and her but we.
Together we will see this through,
Becoming that of something new.
