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
