Forbidden Love
Turn off the lights
Turn the music on low
Light the candles
Watch the flames flicker and glow
See the shadows dance across the walls
The shadows of a man and of a woman
Their silhouette now the making of a love story
The illusion of their embrace enticing
As their separate bodies become one
The heat of the candle flame inferior in comparison
To the heat that couple is creating and feeling
The fluttering of their hands roaming across one another's body
The mingling of their words, breath, lips
Their legs intertwined
The wax of the candles beginning to drip
Time no longer exists in this world, their world
Hours pass by like minutes
Cherishing each one that passes
Knowing it could be one of their last
This is their forbidden love
