Forbidden

Words with so little meaning,
A touch with so much feeling,
A look, reckless and wanting,
And we took it because we could,

Your hands on my body,
Your mouth upon mine,
We took what we wanted,
Because we could, and so we did,

You looked at me, untrusting,
Seeking the truth behind my eyes,
Unsure the rules of the game,
That I’d made for you and I,

But in that moment where you let go,
Let the moment take you over,
You came over me like thunder,
And I was swept away,

It was messy, it was lustful,
It was forceful, yet somehow soft,
As we broke the rules we’d made up,
Once, so long ago,

I don’t recall the moment,
When I decided what I wanted,
But I knew that what I wanted,
Was something I could get,

And maybe it was wrong,
Or maybe it was right,
But now its just a memory,
That we keep hidden, out of sight.

The Dark Unknown

When midnight came, I did not know it,
For you seemed to glow, and fill the darkness,
You filled it, full, and took me with you,
Into the dark unknown,

I took your hand, trusting, foolish,
As you led me down, and I let you do it,
The path was short, and bittersweet,
As we walked the dark unknown,

You kissed me soft, and then too deep,
Hand were shaking, knees were weak,
Promises made, now promises broken,
Left in the dark unknown,

You took me, wholly, with reverence,
As we breathed each other in,
We freed each other in a moment of bliss,
As we got lost in the dark unknown,

At first, treading gently, then all at once,
We found new ways to fall in love,
You lifted me up, then pulled me back down,
To you, in the dark unknown,

We relished the moment, but we let it slip by,
Too busy making promises we’d eventually break,
I wanted your everything and I gave you my all,
And you took it, in the dark unknown,

But the moment was ending as you kissed me softly,
Wrapped in your arms, it felt like home,
As you turned and left, with eyes filled with hope,
I was left in the dark unknown,

Its cold as I’m waiting for you to return,
You took all the light when you left,
So without your light to guide me home,
I will wait, in the dark unknown.
