Lin Lane Poet Quatern

Notes About The Poem

The Sin of Passion: Quatern

The sin of passion we fondly embrace
so let guilt lock us in each other's heart.
Imprisoned with you and tied up in lace,
means we will never have reason to part. 

Struck by a force wielding such great power,
the sin of passion we fondly embrace.
Wrap us in chains in a castle tower 
to live and die together, face to face.

Four walls without windows, our fated place.
We may not look upon blue skies above.
The sin of passion we fondly embrace,
seeking no pardon for our crime of love.

If death be the door that leads to our grave,
entombed we shall rest in a kindred space.
We will never rescind kisses we lave.
The sin of passion we fondly embrace.

Paul Callus February 7, 2016 at 7:11 AM Sadly romantic, sensual, and leaving us wondering what led to all this. Congratulations on this fine win, Lin. Regards // paul Lin Lane February 7, 2016 at 7:16 AM I think that gives thought to a preceding sonnet, Paul. lol Whatever it was that made them willing to die for must have been some kind of passion.

James Inman January 24, 2016 at 5:59 PM Really like this, Lin, I've read it several times. "guilt locked us in each other's heart." I love the playfulness of the idea of "I won't tell if you don't," and passion of "...tied up in Lace..." Lin Lane January 24, 2016 at 6:02 PM Lovely dissection of my exact thoughts. If we have to be punished for loving each other...we'll go together. Thanks, James.
