Longing fingers grip the stem of the glass
Fuming with uncontrollable jealousy,
Threatening to break the fragile substance
At the sight of you with him again
He is your betrothed, your “beloved”.
You painlessly laugh and casually smile
Until you catch my eye and I witness
The anguish and misery that lives
Within you, the same that resides
Within me
You gracefully float past me,
Brushing your fingertips against
My tense and weak body
Quickly whispering, instructing me
To meet you at our rendezvous spot
Beneath the dark weeping willow
At the time when the
Lonely moon hangs above my room
The stars cast their brilliant glow
Upon your gorgeous face
Your beauty the goddesses envy.
Tears begin to spill, and I attempt
To banish them with my sweet kisses.
You need not say anything, I know,
I know this secret is corrupting your insides
And that these meetings cannot make the
Cravings, the urges subside
Or extinguish the passionate, silent fire within.
It’s not enough, it’s never enough.
I hold you close to me, even with
The knowledge that you are so out of my reach.
It is not fair that our love is forbidden, banned eternally.
I ask you to run with me, assure you that
You are the only thing I need to live, to survive.
And you look at me, wondering if you possess
The courage and the strength to leave this all behind
Your heart answers for you and you slowly nod
I am full of ecstasy and excitement
My mind thinking of all the possibilities
That lay before us, without the shackles
Of what they consider right or wrong.
We kiss madly to seal this promise to one another.
Meet me under the weeping willow
When the lovely moon grins over your room.
