Forbidden emotions,
That I need to feel,
Forbidden feelings,
Cold as ice, hard as steel.

Forbidden images,
That we need to see,
Forbidden ideas,
That will set us free.

Forbidden memories,
That I wish I could recall,
Forbidden meetings,
That came after love’s dark fall.

Forbidden weaknesses,
That I don’t need,
Forbidden powers,
Warnings I don’t heed.

Forbidden dreams,
Forbidden numbered ten,
Forbidden things,
All these are verboten.


"No one holds command over me.
No man.
No god.
No prince."

This has a really neat theme, and i like the German title.  Keep it up!

Ah yes, German.  Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?
Ok I'm done.  
I like how you used the number ten to mark your forbidden items.  Really neat theme.  
Great job.

What yer all psycho?huh?

Well I liked the poem, but I didn't find it to be as powerful as some of your past poems. You still did well on this one.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
