Forbidden flames



'N shadows' embrace, a tale we weave,
A love entwined, forbidden, yet believe
Two hearts aflame danced beneath the moon's glow.
A whispered secret only we shall know.

Like stars that dare not to cross the midnight sky,
Their love concealed, a treasure kept awry.
For in this world, where boundaries confine,
Their souls entangled, entwined by design.

Across vast chasms, they yearn to unite,
Aching hearts yearning, day turns into night.
Yet fate's cruel hand, it draws the line,
Separating bodies, their love confined.

But in clandestine moments, they find solace,
Each stolen kiss, a testament of promise.
With every touch, their spirits intertwine,
Bound by love's fire, a love so divine.

For in this realm of shadows and despair,
Their love, a flame, no force can ever snare.
They defy the odds, for love knows no bounds,
Igniting passions where forbidden love resounds.

And so they dance, the forbidden pair,
A symphony of love, beyond compare.
Their souls united, defying time and space,
Two hearts entwined, in this forbidden grace
