A Tale of Forbidden Love
A Poetic Journey of Passion and Tragedy
Memories of love bring forth aching pain
When faced with the ones who love in vain
Carrying the burden of love and its agony
Yet never tasting the sweetness of love’s ecstasy
If only you could learn from their experience
And study the stories of love in their essence
It’s the worst and best of what love can offer
Taught by a master to students in a proffer
It’s the allure of desires in their drunkenness
And the terror of terrors in their bleakness
It’s the devil’s workshop, the devil of love
Full of struggle, conflict, and strife thereof
Lancelot threw his heart’s desires into its abyss
With wounds and scars that never seem to miss
If he unleashed the cries from within his chest
He could extinguish all the stars and their behest
If Guinevere sang of her love-crazed Lancelot
Her poetry would tremble with wisdom and glow
And if she could have turned away from his madness
Perhaps she would have avoided love’s sadness
