Forbidden Love

Bhavna Kaushik posted under PenMuse-38 Poetry on 2022-02-19



Love finds unexpected trysts, it happens, takes control of the psyche  Questioning my sensibility, love popped up when I wished to hide. He befriended me to approach my pretty cousin She was everything that I wasn’t I sailed as an extra oar in the lover’s boat Drowning and swimming in lovebirds’ tiffs and snuggles Years passed being an ally in crime, I was the confidant Wiping his tears of despondency or delight The pain made a pal in unprecedented times Dreamt of a world that had moonshine Hopping from planets to stars, floating in the dark I too found a Sun that illuminated my life Double dates, picnics, love's everlasting promises followed Something was amiss we both knew, the Sun was distant and the cousin, too perfect Sitting in a crowd of four, our eyes met, a moment longer than a decade passed We were drowning in a soup that brimmed with forbidden desires The magnetic pull tilted the balance Love bloomed, unleashing unfathomable passion Entwining our souls to eternal blissful life that neither had a name nor a timeline Love happened my dear, it just took time to redefine.   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
