Taboo

Forbidden!  it is taboo 
I shall think of you as a rose
Shall I? A beautiful lilac rose
I shall be evermore struck by 
This beautiful rose I am now
Lovesick which there is no 
Remedy for,  no cure I will
Believe that you are more
Beautiful and precious than
Any other rose.  You are set
Apart from all other roses 
I suppose I am Lovesick just
Because this I know.  It is
Taboo to think of you as such
A rose your eyes are vibrant 
Petals filled with loveliness 
Your hands are soft as delicate
Rain
I will think of you as the wild
Rose garden on a summer's 
Eve.  If it were not for the
Beautiful lilac rose, nothing else
Would ever matter
