We, in momentous love, strive in the hidden messages,
Whispers ransomed in the dim light of the hallowed evening,
Cherished, but restricted...
We love, but are not allowed to love,
My love and I,
Withholding from intimacy,
While falling into a pit of romance,
Grabbing hold of the walls as we fall in some futile attempt to slow us...
Her father and mother know of us,
As do mine,
But the world and society's circumstance forbade us,
While God blesses us with every moment we share...
In the time we see one another,
My eyes cannot close,
My heart cannot sit still,
My feet strive to pull me nearer to her,
And my arms weighted down by restriction, cry out to hold her...
Her eyes glow, seeming to hold their own moonbeams,
Her hair flows, a river birthed on a vast imagination,
Her smile holds in its own realm secrets and visions,
Her skin is pale but full in color,
And her lips, full, a field of clovers,
on which mine beg to waltz...
I long for the future when we can love freely,
A free love, only us,
Her, myself, and our God,
God, the one to whom we owe it all...

Is this a Romeo and Juliet situation?
I am not Father Lawrence, however.
The poem seems to justify secretive romantic desire and practice but it pulls God onto the lovers' side of things, but for some reason you seem to be playing with fire if the world and society shun your physical union.
I am not sure of this poem partly because you forbid or lack background for understanding.
Thank you for this poem and good luck with it if not the girl/boy.
Lyndon.

Society always seems to butt in. I wish it wouldn't. This was a very well written love story. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.
