To love you is said to be the worst sin,

Tender eyes beckon and draw me in,

This tryst of ours can’t afford to begin,

Trading soft kisses and hidden wishes,

Two interlocked attracts the suspicious,

Thinking maybe we were too ambitious,

Twice born lovers from sight to touch,

The spark between us burns too much,

Treasured memories stay within clutch,

Transparent feelings wash over my face,

Troubles fade as affection takes its place,

This love grows fonder with each embrace.

Taste of licorice bitters my tongue,

To cure the love my heart has wrung,

“Tidally locked to you” my soul sung,
