Poems About Forbidden Love
Married Man
Author: B. Holland
Two hearts entwined, yet worlds apart,
Forbidden love, a heavy heart.
A bond so strong, yet so taboo,
A love that's whispered, never shouted out loud.
We sneak around in secret, trying to hide,
Our love a secret, buried deep inside.
A stolen glance, a whispered word,
Our love is like a fragile bird.
We know it's wrong, we know it's true,
But our love is like a rose that's growing in the dew.
A love that's forbidden, yet so pure,
A love that's worth the pain, worth the allure.
We'll keep our love a secret, for now,
Until the day when we can shout it out loud.
For now we'll cherish, every stolen kiss,
For our love is worth the forbidden bliss.
Affairs
Author: A. Allison
Beneath the moonlight's silvery gleam,
We meet in secret, like a forbidden dream.
Our hearts afire with passion's flame,
Our love an illicit, secret game.
We steal away from watchful eyes,
To be together, beneath the skies.
Our love forbidden, yet so true,
A love that only we can pursue.
We whisper sweet nothings in the night,
Holding each other so tight.
A love that's frowned upon by all,
But we'll risk it all, for love's sweet call.
We know it's wrong, yet we can't resist,
The pull of love that we can't dismiss.
Forbidden love, a dangerous game,
But worth it all, to feel love's sweet flame.
We'll keep our love a secret, hidden well,
For the price of love, is the tale to tell.
But in each other's arms, we'll find our peace,
Forbidden love, will never cease.
Woman
Author: N. Ellis
In secret we meet, under the cloak of night,
A forbidden love, hidden from sight.
Our hearts aflame, burning bright,
A love that should not be, but feels so right.
We whisper sweet nothings, in hushed tones,
Our love for each other, forever known.
We are drawn together, like moths to the flame,
A love that's forbidden, yet we can't refrain.
We know it's wrong, yet we can't resist,
the pull of love that we can't dismiss.
We're both tied to others, yet we can't let go,
For our love is too strong, it continues to grow.
We'll keep our love a secret, hidden well,
For the price of love, is the tale to tell.
But in each other's arms, we'll find our peace,
Forbidden love, will never cease.
Beneath the stars, we'll make our vows,
To love each other, till the end of our hours.
Forbidden love, may bring us pain,
But it's worth it all, to love again.
Secret Love
Author: A. Peck
In secret we meet, beneath the stars,
Our love a secret, hidden from all.
A whispered word, a stolen kiss,
A love that's pure, and worth the risk.
We sneak around in shadows, trying to hide,
Our love a secret, deep inside.
A bond so strong, yet so unknown,
A love that's whispered, never shown.
We know it's wrong, yet we can't resist,
The pull of love that we can't dismiss.
We'll keep our love a secret, hidden well,
For the price of love, is the tale to tell.
We'll steal away, to be alone,
To hold each other, and call our own.
A love that's secret, yet so true,
A love that only we can pursue.
We'll keep our love a secret, till the end,
For in each other's arms, we've found a friend.
A love that's pure, and worth the wait,
A secret love, that's worth the fate.
Soulmates
Author: A. Salazar
In secret we meet, beneath the moon,
Our hearts aflame, a forbidden boon.
Soulmates, we are, in every way,
But our love is forbidden, and we can't sway.
We whisper sweet nothings, in hushed tones,
Our love for each other, forever known.
We're drawn together, like stars in the sky,
A forbidden love, that we can't deny.
We know it's wrong, yet we can't resist,
The pull of love that we can't dismiss.
We're both tied to others, yet we can't let go,
For our love is too strong, it continues to grow.
We'll keep our love a secret, hidden well,
For the price of love, is the tale to tell.
But in each other's arms, we'll find our peace,
Forbidden love, will never cease.
Beneath the stars, we'll make our vows,
To love each other, till the end of our hours.
Forbidden love, may bring us pain,
But it's worth it all, to love again.
Our souls entwined, forever more,
In this forbidden love, we'll find an open door.
