Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love


Clandestine meetings
Secrets and lies
Forbidden love
Slicing unbreakable ties
Stealing love
from another
Ignorance your bliss
Always hiding in cover
 
Blowing up lives
Causing pain
Years of happiness
Now down the drain
Excitement disguised 
As love evermore
Nothing can compete 
Like a rabid carnivore
 
Passion turned to hate
Anger and cruelty abound
Someone’s marriage in tatters
You, continuing to confound
As quick as it began
One day you’re gone
Without a goodbye 
The end of a love song

		I have been writing poetry since I was a child and it has helped in the good times and bad times. I am always looking within to find the answers to life's problems and to write thought-provoking poetry and prose.
Thanks for checking it out.

    There’s nothing quite as piquant as forbidden love but it also destroys. I like the way your poem explores this theme by starting with those clandestine meetings and ending ‘without a goodbye’.

    This associates me to that image of 2 lovers as lit matches, in rainbow colours, then the next image is the same 2 lovers, but as ash and smoke. Fast Love ends swift. I like the way in which you weaved a tale through verse.

    Awesome post, Christine!!  So true!  Forbidden love usually ends up being a tornado to a marriage and leaves a path of distraction in its path!!  Loved your last lines!!

      Thank you Grace.  You can expect nothing less from people who steal ‘love’, I guess 😔

      Yes Bjorn. I could only forgive adolescent forbidden love.  This was about adult forbidden love that certainly destroys.

    much truth in your words Christine dear, i read this a few days ago and could not get round to commenting, this is when I feel love hurts more than it heals but then realise its not love’s fault, its a very selfish heart. I am saddened by the lives destroyed this way. you write with clarity and sensitivity. really love this one, as sad as it is, it is transforming writing

      Yes Gina, I feel very saddened too by those who ‘steal’ love from another.  A selfish heart is a good description.  That’s exactly what it is on both sides.  It never ends well. Just pain and destruction 😢
      
Thank you for your kind words 💕❤️
