Oh...this got me and got me really..really took me deep into those lines.

No one can rise to cast away,
A forbidden love that scars,
Or shake the lonely lingering deed,
Birthed unknowing from afar.

^^I like this stanza very much. Its touching and at the same time got me thinking about Romeo & Juliet....not sure why but it did, like so many failed love stories and hidden love.

I liked this read very much and your choice of words and rhymes made this poem for me touching and beautiful.

You wrote a poem after so long!!!! :) Happy to see this read..keep penning.

Totally agree with you Meena.
The hidden pain is so well described in rhymes.No one can reach to understand this love between two souls.
