Forbidden love

Forbidden is our love
for many do not accept.
They condemn us to damnation
but of them we must forget.

A love so unattainable,
a love so rare,
a love poets write of,
is the love that we share.

A fate mandated
from the heavens up above,
is the 'poison' of the land.
The 'falsification' of love.

These are the beliefs by which
many vouch to be true.
The constraints of their mind,
we must disabuse.

Yet, how can I love you
if our love we must hide?
A hidden passion to appease
'tis not the love for you and I.

On the city-streets
I wish to hold hands side by side.
In the crowded crowds,
is where I long to gaze into your eyes.

It is in the public parks
where I dream to savor your lips.
Riding mass transit
I yearn to hold thy body of bliss.

Yet, these affections
I simply cannot manifest.
For on the social stage we'll dance
and play the role of the jests.

Thus indoors we'll unveil
our affections unfeigned
For it is indoors by which
'tis approved to be gay.

my love is my inspiration
perception of this poem
is your interpretation"

hey xeonon...
it's cool to know that i'm not out here in Passions alone    I'm glad that you enjoyed the poem, and to some extent I'm happy that I wrote it because this is such a very real experience in my life.  Yet I have never wrote about it.  Well let me stop my rambling lol and thank you once again. your words are much appreciated
