This is a collection of poetry I have written over the years. |
He was black She was white People called it The "forbidden love" They cared little For public opinion They cared more For each other. Threats flew In his direction Rumours of scandal In hers. They carried on Their love growing stronger People's opinions They wanted to hear no longer. Tension arose When they walked down the streets Hand in hand - Hearts linked eternally. All of a sudden Out of the blue Danger appeared Followed by fright. He fought for love And failed He was badly wounded Beaten almost to death. Her screams were piercing But did little. The fight continued As she tried helplessly to save her lover. A dagger pierced through her skin And deep into her heart She fell to the ground Beside her lover's broken body. The danger retreated As flashing lights appeared - too late. As they sealed their love With one last kiss, their souls floated above. Their love had been so strong. Although they both died Their souls remained together For all eternity. A message arose From the traumatic scene If love was all that mattered Then why should colour add tension? |
