Self Inflicted

Should I allow my mind to rove
I may be taken aback somehow
remembering forbidden love
induced by guilt I so feel now

reflecting back on cotton threads    
tossing neath the weight of skin
sweat pouring from the brow
absorbed in heaven we in sin

remembering the night of you
cherished no strings that bind
we belonged to us alone 
a secluded world left behind

"A secluded world left behind" would be even better as "a secluded world we left behind" to give the extra syllable it needs to scan well, and which would also highlight the importance of the couple to the poem's whole. Julia, xx
