A poet’s take on forbidden romance.

In the dark, we keep

an eye out. Is someone

there? They cannot know.

Stay away, we giggle and run

away- hoping to never be found.

I want you. Forever.

A kiss, a smile

like a gentle wind on a summer’s

evening- so soft a caress.

Where do we go from

here? A touch, flutters to my stomach,

a sigh. They mustn’t find out.

In the dark, we keep

an eye out. They cannot know.
