Forbidden Love – This Week’s Picture It & Write
The weather was humid, heavy and thick like a tongue. The razor grazed his skin, shedding the prickly beard he had recently been wearing. His head was cradled between her soft, tender hands and her abdomen. He breathed in the moment, hoping he would never have to exhale it. Despite all the boundaries they were breaking, he felt at peace. He peered up as she caressed his forehead, he noticed her dress falling from her bare, white shoulder. She was beautiful. At any moment she could slice his throat effortlessly, no one would care nor notice his disappearance. She wiped the last of the pearl-white foam from his cheeks and neck, revealing delicious, dark chocolate skin. They stood there, her hair tousled by the warm wind, staring at each other. A gust of warm wind nudged her into his hands.

Though skin was dark
soft hair she found
as she cut it
falling to the ground
Felt herself drowning
in his gentle gaze
the world was spinning
in sun’s golden haze
But love was forbidden
between them she knew
as with his grooming
seemed her hands flew
Her blood was rising
as heart beat faster
to give in now
would be a disaster
Her mind cried out
a warning to heed
“You can never be
with a half-breed!
“You’ll be shunned by
all family and friends
when they do care
and no one pretends!”
Just then as if
the wind knew alone
into his waiting hands
she need be thrown
And no longer resisting
his lips to kiss
’twas like coming back
to the home you miss
“The heck with caution!”
to herself she said
when by her heart
she was being led

“The heck with caution!”
to herself she said
when by her heart

I like the two-and-fro as she thinks about the situation before finally giving in.
