Forbidden Love

You’ve got to hide your love away,
that’s what the neighbours always say.
I’m told it would be wrong to show
my feelings, let emotion flow:
but this is twenty twenty-five,
and through my love I feel alive!
You think it sinful? Surely not:
I’m married to an ocelot.

Hey Michael, anyone who could be married to an ocelot and still live to tell the story deserves a spot at the top of the podium (lol) Love this! Congratulations on your top win in my contest! Charlie
