Barriers

Beyond these barriers so ill advised,
The tethers to a false morality,
Unburdened by the weight of love disguised,
We shed the yoke of forced conformity.
Two wills apart, together one complete
As harmony begets its own reward,
No longer cloaked in shadows of deceit,
We tend to honest needs too long ignored.
While others seek perfection in their dreams
Our fantasies find life in each embrace.
They flood us with the joys of new extremes
And soothe the stings of sorrows they replace.

No intimate insipid moments shared
By those who chose to love as we have dared

David, this is a beautifully written poem.
It sounds like unexpected love was found.
Hugs,

Wow, don't know why this poem is not up there on the top, so I'll put it there!

I'll bounce this back to the top again too.

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!
