Forbidden by any other
But not forbidden by me,
Even if I have to walk a million miles
I know that we must be.
Forbidden for me to touch
Forbidden to even kiss,
Forbidden to hold me in his arms…
What kind of torture is this?
I’ll walk across the desert
I’ll swim the deepest sea,
Only if it is promised
That he will be set free.
If he is forbidden to me
Then I am forbidden to breathe,
In this world I’d have no peace
What meaning would my life be?
To forbid my love for this man
Is forbidding the sun to shine,
How can you forbid something so beautiful?
I am his and he is mine.
This love I have in my heart
For he that shall go unnamed,
Grows stronger by the minute
Every night and day.
I’d rather you cut out my heart
Before giving up my love for him,
Without him here with me
My heart would cease beating.
Why take dew from a rose?
Why take music from a song?
Why take love from the world?
Why take me from where I belong?
A million times I love thee
A million times I care,
A million times I swear to you
That I will always be there.
If the sun should refuse to shine
If the sky should sit still,
Nothing can change my love for him
I do and I always will.
No longer forbidden to love
Because I have broken the bond,
No longer forbidden to touch
The day I touched his hand.
So cast me from this world
Tear my soul apart,
It matters to me not…
The forbidden one holds my heart.

Author Bio: I am a writer from the island of Jamaica, I mainly write poetry, stories and song lyrics. As an art student in high school, I knew writing was the career path that I wanted to take, but it was in grade school that I discovered a book that led to my love for poetry, and I keep falling for it day after day. I have a creative mind, a special love for writing and dedication to the craft; I can write about anything and feel so at ease doing it because of how much I truly love words and playing with them.
I have already published my first book on Amazon titled “Serenity: Poems for the Mind.” This accomplishment has left me feeling really proud, but I know that there is more work that needs to be done writing so for that I do not intend to stop. I find myself to be a well-rounded individual who loves life and who is passionate and dedicated.
