Forbidden

An Acrostic

By Lisa ChapmanPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

Dazzled by this new man’s charms

Intoxicated in his arms

Secret passions, stolen time

Torment as desires climb

Ravished with illicit love

Ask forgiveness from above

Caught, exposed the lie

Temptation raging, old vows die

In the deepest dark of night

Only dawn reveals the light

Nothing will ever make this right

…a timeless tale of forbidden love, expressed in a 52-word acrostic for the word DISTRACTION, submitted to the Dancing with Distraction Challenge.
