Unspoken Words

The Forbidden Kiss

by Sasha Mirage

Walking at midnight in a garden of red roses

Revealing dark beauty, no longer confined

They fade into black, time is now frozen

Silver moon shines through shaded trees in my mind

Running in the wrong direction

Dreams no longer in reach

Crimson blood flows through a cut

Smeared upon flushed cheeks

Reflections are illuminated in a salty sea of untrust

The prince of shadows arrives, self control turns to dust

Many steps away in the fog, drawn in by lust

Clouds cover the moon, denial of him crushed

Innocence shrouded by a thin layer of silk

With immobile lips, in my mind he casts a spell

Hypnotized by magic, he says, "only a kiss"

A mirror forms to block this hex and repel

Mesmerized by his eyes, glass shatters inside

Chanting in a foreign tongue, shards slowly mend

My chest rises and falls to the beat of his heart

Intoxicated by a melody I don't comprehend
