FORBIDDEN LOVE
May I taste your lips?
Will you let me approach?
Will you let me touch you?
Do you even see me?
Someone who wants to host you
For the company you are and not
For who you think you should be
Someone who sees you even in the dark.
Do you believe you can drink from my fountain
And be nourished and strengthened by love?
Maybe I will kiss your lips and you will see
That my tongue will revive your heart.
It makes me feel a certain power
And compels me to think in a certain way
That makes me fearless and bold
Like being consumed by a certain desire.
May I taste your sweetness?
May I savour all your tenderness?
Will you let me feel more?
Do you even want me?
I am helpless as my emotions overload,
But not hopeless waiting for yours to reload.
I will teach you how to love a man
And I promise to give you all my dreams.
No string will be broken to pieces
No tears will be lavished and wasted
‘Cause I come to you, powered by love
It is okay for a man to love a man.
You don’t have to conceal what you feel.
It is okay for you to tickle my fantasy
And release my sweetest sensations
Like a refreshing drink.
You don’t have to resist what you feel.
This is all you have ever wanted.
You have imprisoned yourself for too long.
It is okay for a man to kiss your lips.
May I taste your lips?
Will you let me approach?
Will you let me touch you
Now that you see me?
