The Forbidden Sonnet

When their eyes first met from across the room

They immediately knew of the dangers lurking

But over their smitten hearts couldn’t be cast a gloom

Their eyes were gleaming, their lips were smirking

 

They rushed through a romance, spectacularly swift

It was forbidden from the first minute to the bitter end

As their love caused through an entire country a rift

That not an army in the world could ever mend

 

Where the lovers met, trapped in a lovely daze

The fires sparked and started to run wild

Two lovebirds had not quite gone out in such a blaze

To call it star-crossed would be too mild

 

Because of their heartfelt romance, the world took such a hit

That it is now even forbidden to merely write a sonnet about it
