So few months separate us
And we share far more than a bed
You have him, and I have her
But we find ourselves kissing instead
Your hair is dark, brown, and long
Very much like mine
Your eyes are deep, brown, and poetic
So very much like mine
God said we should not kiss
Not even for this moment
But our bodies say different
How I long to love the love that is forbidden
We only kissed that night by the moonlight
Dear brother slept soundly in his bed
We made not a noise
Father suspected, but chose to look away
Mother did nothing
But that has never changed
We were left so much with each other
We were only yearning to understand one another
Lust and passion, two titans had met
Every moment had led to this
Abomination? Why Crucify us so?
We only longed to love a love that is forbidden
We parted ways after sharing some whispered words
Words that we would later call a dream
“Whispers in the night”
One of those dreams that never comes true
Because it is forbidden
They called it lust
But we called it love
The years we shared glances could not have been a lie
But the night we shared kisses
Became whispers to the night
We shared a bed, but could not share a love
Because it is forbidden

Well, while I was reading this, I was thinking of Rammstein's "Spiel Mit Mir" only to be proven right. Oh, I love to be right, heh. Okay, anyway. Oh, a second place winner, eh? Congrats on that. Everything aside Bry Bry, this is pure genius. However, I don't believe you could write something I wouldn't like. You're very talented, and I can't wait to see what that means for your works in the future.

Thank you... I recently wrote this poem after not writing for quite some time, so I was on the weary side about it. It's nice to know my work is still enjoyable. :-)

OMG!!! I absolutely loved this poem. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I like the last 4 lines "But the night we shared kisses, Became whispers to the night We shared a bed, but could not share a love Because it is forbidden" Loved it. The whole poem was just so passionate and beautiful.A perfect description of a forbidden love. Great job. Emily
