Taboo

A lust redrawn, a passion
under wraps, recasts the theme
and sings a different tune.

A travesty of love most people say,
an instance of familial abuse,
it's not the usual way.

They struggle with the stigma,
they battle with a feeling others cannot share,
they care, just in a different manner.
