The forbidden path I walk <br />The rain heaves and the sun leaves <br />Gloom, looming beyond my back, <br />In the twilight of life, <br />I am on my knees, praying in Lassa, <br />For the horizons to meet, <br />And I wait for the ascension, <br />Sighs and tears proscribed <br />My love for the cocoon, verboten <br />Under the tree of knowledge, I rest <br />Pandora's dreams, I dream <br />My lips and your kiss in a collusion <br />My moans covets for those hands <br />I trust in variance, <br />Passion effuse, I am frazzled, <br />The moon hides and refuses <br />To walk with me on the forbidden path, <br />on this forbidden path of love<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forbidden-path/
