Forbidden Affections

By Poornima Saini

Being enemies made us obstinate

Journey began towards love from hate Not intended, I lost all my senses

I wish I had known the consequences You became for me a person of prime Why this had to be termed as crime

These feelings I refuse to believe

This love is wrong the world perceive Principles and beliefs are above humanity My affections presumed to be my insanity Civilized people started to find cure

They declared my yearning as impure In this universe is there any place

Where our existence doesn't have trace Our intimacy has one fault I cry

Obstacle is he is a boy so am I
