Your love is like forbidden fruit
Never to own, my love's pursuit.
With society as my cruel mistress
In formality my heart must dress.
She says that we can never be
For reasons only she can see.
If not for her you'd be on my arm
never allowed to come to harm.
And now as I bow my head
My heart feels like it's made of lead
I want to show you how I care
But I'm not sure if I can dare
To act against unwritten laws
Fight oppression for my cause
To liberate my heart for you
I only wish I knew what to do
My, My Sir Alex! Great poem for such a young man. But your feelings at this age, if I can remember back that far are very strong. Good time to write poetry I think. Give you a ten on this one. God Bless, Linda Across the sea
I love the imagry portrayed in this poem. You truly painted a picture with words. Great job! Be Different. Be You. Elizabeth
You might check your spelling of 'pursuit' on line 2. No offense meant. It just throws off the reader and detracts from the poem.
a nice concept.....a deep thoughts and well expressed infatuation...great rhyming.. Ency Bearis
