Forbidden Foolishness
They were prisoners
not of walls but of words
words of threats and alienation
walls none the less
But destiny would intervene
a chance encounter at a shop
eyes meeting in a fateful dance
unspoken thoughts exchanged
Notes were passed
through clandestine means
hidden from watchful eyes
little by little trysts ensued
At first with conversation
then, that kiss
the one that opened the prison gates
to a world unknown
Of freedom of the heart
hands began to meander
exploring the inner reaches
of parts unknown
He climbing past mountains of doubt
she guiding his hands
to her Garden of Eden
both searching in the shadow of darkness
Like unleashed primal beasts
theirs was a passion in a fertile land
breath taking and breathless
the planting of seeds
Would soon bear fruit
the chains that once held them
now kept them close
the escape complete
