Eden
Forbidden love –
Sinful at best, catastrophic no less.
From here nature flourishes,
Yet ironclad bricks strangle
And tumultuous rivers engulf.
Longing past faded,
Withered roots of roses long dehydrated.
Scars of passion sear
Every morsel of the soul –
Unrelenting, deadly, painless.
Emotions of ages past,
Paralyzed and fearless.
A caress, a whisper –
A fleeting glance lost,
Gone and inconsequential.
The churning of hearts
As they weld and mold as one –
A kiss forever sealed by life.
