Love Poem: Forbidden
Jason Johnson Avatar
Written by: Jason Johnson

Forbidden

gypsy fruit spilling
across crimson lips 

strained through stockings;
captured freedom imprisoned

we walked today,
you were not there 
as time slapped
the second hand;

restricting the reality
of speech
	held by your breath

tightly formed by my arm
all the while
words fell
on the pavement;
	smashing the forbidden cracks

distance becoming the 
ashen- faced- spider
stealing sleep;
onyx eyes
melancholy wisps of wine
fixed directly
upon the cynical curse
	without Parenthesis
