This is my first attempt at writing in 7 years. A very special girl, Tiffany, gave me this gift back. She is a friend (or is she more) and it is the typical situation of crossing that line, and who is hurt in the process. No one has ever invoked such emotion in me before and I just had to release through writing.

This poem originally was published in Love Poems - Love and Friendship Poems

Forbidden
Forbidden pleasures
Who makes the rules
Unfound treasures
And beautiful jewels

Can that line be crossed
What could we truly be
And at what cost
Do you see what I see
I know there is more there
Waiting to be found
Can you feel how much I care
I feel like I'm being drowned
If you knew the amount of desire
That I feel for you
My burning fire
That wants one to become two

Forbidden pleasures
Who makes the rules
Unfound treasures
And beautiful jewels

  • ms.riddler
    i am in love with this one guy. he is my everything and i dont noe wad id do wit out him and he does not seem to see that. he sees me as just a friend. my love for him is true, its no childs game. my love for him is an inferno. i noe that he is the one for me but maybe he doesnt see it that way. he noes my desire for him and he chooses to ignore them and it hurts like a knife striking you in the heart. i love your poem and i think that your beautiful writting will touch people around the world and theyll pour theyre heart out to you just like i did. i wanna become two and maybe so does he but not wit me it, hurts. but hey dats life!
  • tekilia

  • kate
    beautiful beautiful poem. it touched my heart.
  • Michelle
    I just want to be one to say that this poem is truly a work of art. It has touched my heart very deeply and made me realize the forbidden love that I have for someone. Now I have enough encouragement and strength to let them know just how I feel. Thank you.
  • Sulema
    This poem evokes the beautiful feelings that are released when one cannot freely express ones true emotions.
  • Just
    Very interesting poem although it lacks why the situation is actually forbidden. Is either party married?If not,it is hard to fully grasp as such to why this is "forbidden" so to speak. I have been on a hunt for poems for actually a gf of mine and do enjoy this site but have a feeling,I won't be finding just your everyday "you are special because" types,lol.
  • nicole

    Amazing! I wish the Todd A. Fulton that I knew so many years ago had written me a poem such as this. I loved him more than the heaven above and the earth beneath my feet. his love was like the air that I breathed. And he left me. And i still have that cross you gave me

    'Hidden treasures' and 'beautiful jewels'--good choice of words! And who is it that makes the rules? Go and find that woman. Take a chance, but don't hold me to it. Good work.

    Excellent poem about real life relationships
  • Brandi
    I think that it is wonderful that someone can have such a strong emotional contact with you that it makes you want to write again. I myself just started back writing after 10 years due to emotions that have came forth that I have not felt in a very long time. I hope that this person knows how special they are to you, for it would be a shame if they did not, since your poem was very beautiful.
  • Tracy
