the taboo dreams I've dreamt
things I was schooled to avoid
and worry that if I gave into it
everlasting hell and damnation
was mine for the asking – still
this forbidden fruit blossoms
the moment my hands touch
and investigate your body and
your thoughts – I seek out your
most secret corners, mental and
physical, and find that I revere
you although some might still say
you are taboo – forbidden fruit
to be avoided at all cost, but I
rebel and grit my teeth at all the
naysayers and forgive myself for
giving into temptation and lust
which has turned into so much
more – dark corners have sought
us out and we have forgiven each
of our sins unto ourselves -- now
we find happiness within the dark
disappearing and allowing a light
to shower us with truth and love
where we find the taboo we were
warned of is in actually a mystery
into the forbidden poetry of our
souls as each secret told concedes
another secret to unfold, until no
secrets remain and purity of love
is fixed firmly within our hearts

"until no

I so look forward for that day.
And it's coming, we are one day closer every day.


JL

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!
