Is It A Crime To Love? by Quam7even(m): 7:22am On Feb 06, 2017
four letters with so much power
To some its a cross
To me its a smile in the dark
Your heartbeat resonating through your breast and bra
As we take refuge in each others arms
I am a dreamer--no Joseph by the way..
So I live to dream nd dream to live
So these four letters, four letters, are more than just what can be felt between you and I
Picasso's curse...an incidental, what did you call me?
Yeah that's right...casanova
Ill advised conclusion advised by ure ill feelings due to just four letters
L-O-V-E
Flesh and blood am I
I breathe the same air you do
So when your contentious flames fanned to a raging roar
Your desperate urge for attention from all quarters by me discovered
Apologize never!...your pedigree even the ancient gods could not surmount
You left
I stayed...with just my four letters
And when i found someone to share those letters with...in you came
Your erstwhile voyage, cut short i guess the grass was not greener
Now I am the accused...you the judge, jury and the persecutor
For how could I, would I, should I?
Share those four letters with anyone but you, even in your absence
Forced forgiveness, the verdict in the tears....
Is it a crime to love?
