FORBIDDEN LOVE
(c)1995 By Paul L. Glaze
The North And South Were In Deathly Fighting.
Two Lovers Were In Desperate Plighting.
A Rebel Officer And A Women Of Slaving.
This Beauteous Black Lady, He Was Craving.
She Was Sought By Rebels For Yankee Spying.
He Caught Her In The Act Of Trying.
She Did Not Sway Him With Her Lying.
Her Guilt Was Obvious With No Denying.
She Confessed To Him in Her Sobbing.
He Felt Her Heart Quickly Throbbing.
As She Ended Her Confessing
Together, They Begin Caressing.
They Began Close, Slowly Dancing.
Not Aware Strange Eyes Were Glancing.
They Caressed In Intimate Romancing
Two Lovers Lost In Amorous Enhancing.
This Love, Both Armies, Were Now Seeing.
A Killing Search Sent Them Fleeing.
Their Love Was Threaten With Their Being.
To This Despair, All Were Agreeing.
To Flee Out West , They Were Now Trying.
A Death Warrant Was Issued For Her Spying.
He Saved Her Once Through Artfu implying.
Their Desperate Flight Was Undenying.
They Stayed In Flight To Avoid Their Capturing.
Their Love Grew Stronger And Was Rapturing.
A Safe Escape Was In Their Believing.
These Thoughts Were Only Deceiving.
Their Seekers Knew Where They Were Going.
They Announced This With Bugles Blowing.
A Hail Of Bullets Sent Them Weaving.
Enduring Wounds That Were Grieving.
Into The Hills They Went For Safe Blending.
In Hopes Their Wounds Would Begin Mending.
Here, They Were In Safe Residing.
As No One Knew Where They Were Hiding.
Two Alone, They Were Now Softly Sighing.
No One Heard Their Pain Or Crying.
In These Sacred Moments
They Were Unifying.
Embraced Together,
They Were Slowing Dying!
