The Forbidden Love

Love that bloomed 

Between me and him

Seemed forbidden

Yet, it was intense. 

I was lying in bed

Submitting to the heat 

Of my body. 

My eyes flickered

Like a candle. 

Those fuming flames rising inside me,

Made me growl 

Like a dog in pain. 

After a few seconds,

I felt his touch. 

I was shocked,

Not just by his touch 

But also by his unholy presence. 

Damn! It was 12 am. 

I did not know him 

I never saw him. 

Forget this!

He entered my room

Without knocking. 

How insane that could be!

I was not in a state to comprehend

But I was known, he was good. 

I was fascinated with his presence 

As he was usually not present. 

I could just feel his touch

But I never saw him,

Till I recovered from viral. 

I was fond of the connection

That we shared,

Even if he was not physically present,

He cared like no one else.

Whenever I felt uneasy,

He would just titillate me 

And ask me to rest. 

I felt as if he was trying to safeguard me from some harm

But until his last goodbye,

I never saw him. 

He was there for me

When the world stopped caring about me.

Ah! Those lovely days would never return again. 

Alas! I rose in love with a man 

Who had died 4 years ago? 

The day when he kissed me 

And woke me up to say goodbye,

I would never forget. 

We knew,

Our love was eternal 

But our worlds were different

And we could never become a part of each other's world

As it would be against the rules of nature.

I was shattered to hear 

That he died in a car accident 4 years ago. 

His only purpose to remain by my side 

Was to make me believe in the strength of love again.

He asked me to love again...

Then, I was left to be with myself again.
