Lovers Torn
Based on a true forbidden love
A man so valiantly placed
A woman so deridingly chaste
Duty called them to be who they have become
Honor prevented them from making a run
No one expected their courtship to prove
A love deeper than what passion could move
It started with a smile of the lips
This led to a secret and stolen kiss
One of them promised to a man of worthy status
The other his friend driven to this madness
Only time would tell what would become of it
And how will the young lovers make of it?
Such innocence and beauty had been found
In a place where chaos had been sound
Torrid kisses reigned heavily in this dream
In community nothing could be seemed
Though the obsession started becoming great
It would be decided how it ended by fate
Now it had become out of hand
Making love throughout passages in the land
A simple look could not go denied
No matter how hard they fought or tried
Their love had become a scandalous affair
That threatens to rip apart the city's care
The man knows his love for her is everlasting
The woman has no love for anyone but her man of passion
Though their love is strong
It would never lasted forever or that long
One choice all that remains
And it brings them the worst of pain
His goodbye was fervent and long
Her goodbyes soiled with tears of wrong
With one stroke she took her life
Along with her love, he ends his strife
Only one lesson can be learned from this
It's never over, but it started with one kiss…
Author's Notes/Comments: This is a prelude to my novel that I will be coming out with soon. Though, it reflects much of the story of Tristan & Isolde or Romeo & Juliet, much of the passion that went into writing this are past experiences or myself or close friends. The novel will be a different kind of love story, so please stayed tuned and hopefully, I will find more inspiration to write more.
