Forbidden Love
You’ve got to hide your love away,
that’s what the neighbours always say.
I’m told it would be wrong to show
my feelings, let emotion flow:
but this is twenty twenty-five,
and through my love I feel alive!
You think it sinful? Surely not:
I’m married to an ocelot.

The story of the moon and the sun guardian
Long ago, there were two guardians, a moon guardian and a sun guardian.
One day, they met at a changing post and instantly fell in love.
Each time they met, they spoke, laughed, and shared secrets under the shifting skies.
Their love grew stronger, and they longed to be together always,
To share each other's joy, pain, and happiness.
Defying

Forbidden Love
Bit by bit you built this in your head.
Take me where the angels are and fix me piece by piece.
I want to feel my stars align again.
Baby you can call the bluff, I'll play the cards.
Take everything i know you'll break
You made those promises, don't take em back now.
Own up to your bull, it's about

Fated, yet forbidden, but still forever true lovers
Always together beneath the warm Egyptian cotton covers.
On a daily basis laying in bed embracing each other.

A FORBIDDEN LOVE
In quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.
Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the world would warm to their spark.
They dream of days without

Bird Cage - Hidden In Plain Sight
Autumn colored shackles
palpitations make the metal growl
Xanthic forewings and discal cells
grace my mucosa, the ripples feel foul
Eternal suffering in a blissful steel
I like to spend my days believing my delusions are real
Love is just chemicals
that we tend to confuse
But good lord, honey, these confusing chemicals have me addicted to you
May these Lepidopteras lay

Forbidden Love
Forbidden love, deadly finales, Cupid’s tragic legacy
An altering agonizing fate, a lover's tale the soul it'll violate
Romeo n Juliet had pure love, pure ecstasy
Forbidden love, deadly finales, Cupid’s tragic legacy
Samson’s lust, Delilah’s betrayal bribed from jealousy
Secrets unfurled delayed, poison secures not heaven’s gate

A forbidden love
Adam was in his late 50s and Jean was younger than him by 27
They both had a lot in common, they saw life as if they were in heaven
They spent most of their time together talking, he felt happy in her presence and she felt safe by his side
Jean had strong feelings for Adam,

Forbidden love
I read your name
And smiled for the first time
I knew when you came
That you will be mine
Who knew that few hours of the night
Would bring the brightest daylight?
The night when you came,
Trust me I felt the same.
It was the brightest ever
Connecting Dots,
That would remain forever
Couldn't explain what I felt
That feeling in

Dangerous Dalliance
Our love forbidden, hidden, went awry.
A dangerous dalliance we did try.
With whispered words, we took the chance,
To steal a moment's forbidden romance.
But, danger lurked in every glance,
At first the dare enthralled the dance.
But, the scared glances took their toll,
Denying our love the depth of an attentive soul.
The flames of furtive passion, soon grew cold,
Leaving our

Lonely traveling all around
To find one peace
Hard to get
Hard to be with all night
He wants to hear her for the last time
Wants his soul to rest in peace in her arms
Calls daily to her to receive a no
Lonely he travels all around the earth

Taboo
Taboo
I can't keep my eyes off
Your rosy peach complexion
Just hanging in the warm
Haitian breeze...
So close but firmly shut.
Guarded by your spiky skin
As if to say wait for you to ripen
under the hot August sun.
To see you smile with
black pearls exposed,
To see you smile
Open and ready
to be plucked...
I want you if only

The Forbidden Love
Author Dana Redricks
May 11, 2023
Oh, dear one, your heart is a mystery, a place where love thrives in secrecy. It beats and flutters its way through, with feelings that just feel so true.
You try to resist, but in vain, your heart just keeps calling out your name. You wonder why it longs for someone so

Under the Night Sky
Night falls
The darkness enthralls
Like a spell
Wishing well
Coin flips
Seductive lips
Slowly sinks
Copper tinks
Echos heard
Sights absurd
Lock and key
Twist to see
Stars above
Radiating love
Blanket laid on grass
A comet’s flash
Night so sweet
Kiss my cheek
Whispering secrets to keep
under moonlight we meet
Wishes for sweet memories
Wandering through cemeteries
Everywhere we shouldn’t be
Chilly breeze
Tight embrace
Gaze upon my face
Hand on my waist
Captivating taste
Forever ours
Warm my heart
Kill my
