Forbidden Love Poem by Arik Fletcher

this love is like a burning flame,
a feeling of eternal pain,

a fire deep beneath my skin,
reminding me of this great sin,

I see the world with jaded eyes,
a curtain drawn across the skies,

I feel the wind rush through the trees,
as guilt now brings me to my knees,

forbidden love, as like the fruit,
has taken me, my life now moot.

My freedom taken from my hands
redemption lost in time's great sands.
