Love Poem: Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love

Like Romeo and Juliet, we dance
Forbidden love, beneath the lover's moon
The air is filled with proof of our romance
As all the stars above begin to swoon

Our eyes feed our need in silent abyss
Held captive by the beauty in the night
Our lips are like two thieves, a stolen kiss
The roses start to blush from pure delight

But as the telling sun begins to rise
The shadows of our secret still remain
Objections to our love through prying eyes
Seeking explanations, we can't explain

Our judges stand in judgement, but forget
Romeo I'm not, nor you, Juliet
