I long to hold your hand,
to hold you.
I want nothing more than to kiss you,
to love you.
But a wall rises between us,
blocking us.
A barricade, an obstacle:
a wall of hate.
Why can they not see,
not feel.
How is our love different,
how so wrong?
Is our love not true,
not real?
Should it not be celebrated?
Can they not rejoice?
I shall not be defeated,
We will not fail.
Our love has more power,
More strength.
The wall will crumble,
it will fall.
No obstruction will hold us back,
will not keep us apart.
I shall march into Hell
for this Heavenly cause,
Just to hold you, to kiss you,
To love you.
No dream is impossible
if you believe in it,
And no barricade can stand
between you and I.
I love you.

mm, I always love a forbidden love poem, especially since I've got an act of getting myself into forbidden relationships. Good luck in the contest!

We are inspired by words that come from others. The words I used are true to my feelings for John. I would -- and am about to -- do just that for him. Standing up for our rights to have our loving relationship recognized as equal to any other will be 'marching into Hell.' And what is a more heavenly cause than love?
There are many contests on here where the person requests poets to be inspired by a quote or a song title. I do not see you condemning those. In my college poetry class, my professor had us look for inspiration in a variety of things.
I do not consider my paraphrase to be 'ripping off' from something else. I wrote how I feel and felt about my love for John. Period. A poet should never have to defend or justify his work.
It stays in.

yeah, youdid totally rip that part off. up to that it was good. I think that it would have been better if you took that part out completely

My dad likes to sing the song you rewrote a few of the lines from. It's stuck in my head now. I liked the poem up to that point.

This poem of mine has become my mantra for the wall that John and I will be taking on here in Texas on October 11 of this year. This is what reminds me of the love that drives me.

I love it. It really hits close to home for me. Love will always triumph in the end, and no one can ever over power love. Well written poem!!

AMAZINGLY SWEET
I LOVE THIS. I am a big fan of rhyming poems but this poem made me forget about that. This is a great write showing that you wont let anything get in your way to prove how much you love that person. Its true...if you really love someone than hyou will show it to them and you wont let other people get in your way. Great write..i love it.
Good luck as well.
