| Two Hearts Rising (image by rmp, that's me) |
forbidden to meet one another's gaze
but what stolen glances could not sustain
our bodies spoke our hearts' refrain
...
we were forbidden to touch
forbidden to dance in one another's arms
but what stolen glances could not sustain
our bodies spoke our hearts' refrain
...
we were forbidden to meet
forbidden to be alone with one another
but what stolen glances could not sustain
our bodies spoke our hearts' refrain
...
we were forbidden to love
forbidden to share our lives with one another
but what stolen glances could not sustain
our bodies spoke our hearts' refrain
i'm torn between posting this now or waiting and letting it stew for a bit. part of me feels it can stand alone as is, but another part of me feels the need to fill in the untold story...i just haven't quite put my finger on what that story is...so for the moment it will stand as is...though i have a feeling i'll be revisiting it shortly...
while inspired by Jingle Poetry's Poetry Potluck [Language, Signs, and Signals], it did not ripen in time for this past Monday's post...strangely enough, i think it might still fit with this upcoming Poetry Potluck [Rules, Regulations, and Laws], we'll have to see if it ferments in time...
