Forbidden Love


 


Forbidden love, intensely erotic


Frantically kept heated and alive


With stolen moments for the making of love


And secret trysts, eternities of wanting more


 


Within the tragedies of Romeo and Juliet


And of Abelard and Heloise


Are the every day sagas of mistresses kept


And Affairs that can never be more


 


While Romeo and Abelard


Juliet and Heloise


Are held aloft as heroes to lovers


I know of heroes more true


 


It is those who, day after day


Work through life’s struggles and joys


Coming together in spite of disagreements


And with one another make and keep a life


 


They have come to learn that give and take


Is the glue that binds their love


And that all can be worked out and even forgiven


As they lie each night in each other’s arms

There is much one can learn from your poem, Karen...it is the depth of emotional and love enveloped within two souls who live and strive through the very trials of life...

When you go all the way, and not just meet halfway, things could be very different. I believe in giving your all but drawing the line when necessary to make a relationship work. Meaningful piece.

Be well,
Sheri

Superb poem Karen, and I agree with your premise.BTW I watched the Quarterhorse competition on TV this evening, and thought of you.;-) I just love to watch the horses reining, and what a testimony to both rider and horse for their being able to work so well together,with such precision. They said it will now be included in the Olympics and I'm so glad!

This is true . . . There is a sence in this country that if one disagrees with the other they pick up the phne and call their shyster divorce lawyer . . . Is it fair to two people to NOT fight the fight for each other and give up and take the easy way out? . . . Is it fair for the children of these people to rip their yiung lives asunder, never to be the same again . . . Then again, sometimes one of the waring parties just walks away without giving a thought to anyone but himself . . . I knew of such a person . . .
