Forbidden Love

Heart thumping moments

Blessed in warm company

Of her highness

enlivened my dead soul.

Showers of her sweet breaths

warmed the slumbering coldness;

set me off to unknown destination.

Entranced by newly born love

tempted toward the forbidden tree.

Feared to pluck that lovely fruit,

Lest be exiled to repent

on enchanting pursuit.

O God! Let me live though the fruit I ate

You didn’t at all me authorize.

O!  cause me not demise

Won’t I leave this soothing paradise.
