Forbidden love

A desire forbidden. A resilient man. The segregating rules will be erased for he is driven by the predominant forces of love.

The familiar scent of luscious fragrance soars,

And I know you are behind.

Upon the twist of my neck I descry what bewitches me daily.

Here, under the fervid sunlight I stand

With my most laundered begrimed attire holding red roses,

Craving freedom from relentless angst to near you.

But then you disappear into the crowd 

In the thronged square and I think to scurry after you,

And as I immerse myself into the crawling horde

My eyes browse to restore your sight.

I followed you before, clad in the same attire

But held a different rose.

Roses must be procured as they shrivel

Like my confidence contracts

Whenever I fantasize being by you.

Sometimes the fantasy arouses the distant sense

Of sureness, and there begins my witless obsession

That entails my unremitting pursuit.

Perhaps it is a pursuit of unreachable desires

That will eternally dement me.

I see you again. I snaked through the commuters

In the square and there you are waiting

At the fore of a jewellery counter perusing

Shinning sumptuous objects.

I see that that which you desire

Cannot be afforded by my coins of silver flair, 

And with a sight so unclouded do I notice that

Your embellished dress juxtapose my dishevelled outfit.

But I will not relinquish hope, for this wall of

Caste shall rupture and collapse.

And thereon I will be valiant -

Thereon we could be lovers!

Perhaps I should be valiant now.

Your words paint a beautiful picture of the pursuit and desire of love that seem impossible to reach.
But that does not stop you from trying to capture it. Excellent write : )
