Paul Callus Poet Rhyme

Forbidden Love

There’s moonlight falling on the ground
                                   The sound of silence all around
                               Cannot control my thoughts in flight
                                   As we embrace I hold you tight
                             Impassioned hearts both beat and race
                                 You tremble now as face to face
                                I feel your breath on frozen cheek
                                 And yet we dare not even speak
                                As tears now fill the eyes and fall
                                  Inside we hear the parting call
                                  It’s time for us to say goodbye
                                     We can’t go on living a lie
                                The stars are witness from above
                                   We must resist forbidden love.

Jslambert Mister Roboto June 27, 2014 at 11:20 AM Who Says the party's over!?! To hell with that! In my playin' days we had a name for guys n' gals with big mouths, and snitches get stitches! HA. cool simple rhyme , well put together and neat. Often the best poems are those written with short, concise terms. I can diG a good story about O.P.P... the P.G. version of that acronym is Other People's PROPERTY. Fill in the final P. with either of the gender appropriate P words for the R Rated O.P.P. Paul Callus June 27, 2014 at 3:42 PM Hey! did I tell you that you got a unique style in writing! well same applies to your entertaining comments!:) Thanks for stopping by. cu // paul

Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser June 22, 2014 at 3:29 PM a short version of my "apple of the eye" but in lighter mode.. i can relate to this poem much Paul.. :) and ill say i became better with it.. :) sometimes parting is the best way to better beginnings :) saheh? Paul Callus June 22, 2014 at 3:58 PM Right you are:) It often does people good to move on and start afresh. Then, once a decision is taken, one has to stick to it, even if sweet words try to persuade you otherwise!! cu // paul

Carolyn Devonshire June 21, 2014 at 8:22 PM Dear Paul, It seems that the "forbidden love" makes passion even greater. Saying farewell is always hard, but surely "We can't go on living a lie." Beautifully written, my friend. Wishing you success in the contest. Love, Carolyn Paul Callus June 22, 2014 at 3:27 AM Thank you! You are so very right, Carolyn! It's part of human nature. But ultimately decisions need to be made and taken, for the good of all those concerned. Take care. /x/ paul

Jadazzle United June 21, 2014 at 6:26 PM Oh Paul the imagery is beautiful but the rhyme is so sad about forbidden love. it sent a chill down my spine its a 7 and a favourite now. hugs as ever my friend. jan xxx Paul Callus June 21, 2014 at 7:05 PM Wow! Jan thank you for the rating and the fav!! That's most kind of you; love your comments, too. Yes, I'm afraid forbidden love can only elicit sad feelings. Hugs my friend. /x/ paul
