Taboo

Floating on the winds

A silent sigh of glee

Wreathed in the smell of spring

A lady as sweet as honey



And oh to not fall for her

Such a sin could that be

To break from that fever

Of her spell on me



Could I no longer find

A knife to cut myself free

Tightly my heart she did bind

With a smile so coy and queer



Would I call it love

That which for her I feel

Emotions from which I try stay above

A sin for which I've tried to deal



Could I break my heart

Knowing that she's family

Could I tear myself apart

Cause she and me could never be



She's my cousin

A lovely and youthful royalty

I'm stuck on a mental spin

To forget her an impossibility



Call her an angel I did

As in my eyes I see

Name her my sunshine I did

As that's what she is to me



But taboo is that which I dream

A love for one too great a degree

Thus I douse my fire's gleam

Staying my heart from breaking my creed



Would she understand

That which is in this poetry

That which is written in my hand

Words only I could see



To write this she asked of me

A confession this is

Written for she to read

I've given her my golden fleece



For time long ago

Since we met before this

A crush for you did I grow

Bury it I did under layers of mist



Forget it I tried

Ignored it I did

But then you did pried

And now it's been writ
