Love Poem: Forbidden

Forbidden

He is the sun in the day
She is the moon at night
He shines in the light of day
She glows in the darkness of night
Never do they dare to touch
Only glimpses of what might have been
Forbidden dreams.

He lives from morning sun to evening dusk
She lives from evening dusk to morning sun
He cannot stay with her
She cannot stay with him
Forbidden love.

He cannot lay with her
He hears her call out in the night
She hears him call out in the day
Forbidden desire.

Light does not see darkness
Darkness does not see light
Day cannot meet night
Night cannot meet day
Forbidden.
