Forbidden Love

Forbidden Love


Upon the sight of each other
They fell in love with one another
Never did they imagine
Their love would be such passion.

Then the struggles appeared.
Coming from far and near
Neither one expected to be 
A nuisance and be rejected.

Neither parent could agree
 To live in harmony
So they forbade their children
To keep each other company.

So the children’s love
Became a shrine,
A tomb, where their parents
Agree to meet and share a sign.
