Love Poem: Forbidden Yet Smitten

Forbidden Yet Smitten

I defend you
Behind the sights of your eyes
Like the sun would beam still
In a sky so grey
The loyalty is true, in love
Yet like the temptation of the forbidden fruit
This tree of forbidden love 
Defined by life deemed unfair
Though still, completely smittened by the idea of you
This mind lost in translation, racing
As my heart beats physically 
Though silent from words
While standing right next to you
I defend and fight for you
Even moreso
Like a heart worn on a sleeve
Unbeknownst to the soul in you
