Sins XVII

By Ld Marduk

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

To look...upon thy beauty,and smell...thy sweet perfume,to hold thee...in my arms,Would be...a dream come true—For though my love for thee,is greater than all else,yet...it must be hidden,For I know all too well—That the passions and desires,that I harbor...in my soul,and the hunger...and the longing,That makes my heart beat so—Are forbidden...and taboo...a very deadly sin,and though...such haunt me, night and day,I know...I cannot win—And so I live in fantasy,and hold thee...in my dreams,knowing...it is only here,That thou belong to me—For to touch...[as I would wish to],thy skin...so soft and fine,and to kiss thy lips, as I desire...As sweet as honeyed wine—And to tell thee...that I love thee,as I hold thee, in my arms...is a dream...that has no hope,for it is very wrong.
