Off-Limits

"Brother," they say, a label neat and clear,

But oh, this brother sets my heart afire, my dear.

A friend's dear kin, off-limits by decree,

Yet in my mind, a tempting fantasy.


"Brother," I sigh, a word that shouldn't thrill,

But oh, your smile, a forbidden kind of kill.

A perfect face, a dangerous kind of charm,

A whispered secret, setting off the alarm.


"Brother," I think, with a fluttering beat,

Gasoline near a flame, a risky feat.

Your eyes hold depths I shouldn't long to see,

For there, a blaze could erupt wildly, for thee and for me.


A stolen glance, a brush of hands, a spark,

Fireworks imagined, leaving their mark.

A stolen kiss, a fleeting, sweet embrace,

A moment's pleasure, a dangerous space.


Goodbyes linger, a hidden, yearning ache,

My traitorous heart, a secret it won't break.

"Brother," I whisper, a bittersweet refrain,

A fire I hold, a love that can't explain.

Is There Really A Happily Ever after?

Does forever truly bind, a love that won't unwind? Two souls entwined, a constant, loyal mind? But whispers fill the air, of vows and hearts astray, Happy couples falter, where's the happily ever after, they say? Unhappy hearts, with loyalty's heavy chain, A loveless dance, a life lived in vain. Vows like empty vowels, a promise on the breeze, Shattered by temptations, carried on the seas. Imperfection's truth, a flaw in human form, Why pledge forever, amidst life's coming storm? Marriage, a choice, not just a blissful dream, To weather hardship, a committed team. Money, time, and distance, mere excuses in disguise, "Something different" a yearning in our eyes. Miscommunication's thorns, a garden overgrown, Love untended, a promise overthrown. But hold, dear heart, is love truly confined? Can forever exist, in a single, searching mind? Perhaps love's a journey, with many ports to call, Intense connections, that rise and sometimes fall. Is love a si...

Beyond the Game

Sweet words whispered, promises like rain, A player's charm, a heart-aching strain. Believe the lies, and you'll surely be played, Love's real embrace forever delayed. Doubt's whispers shunned, a game you can't win, Head spun with dreams, a love locked within. Those who warn you, a nuisance they seem, Blind to the truth, lost in a love's dream. All for nothing, a lonely goodbye, Empty promises, a teardrop-stained eye. The "why" lingers, a haunting refrain, Lost in the game, love turned to pain. With every beat, a love you imbue, A puppet on strings, a perfect you. Their whispered future, a castle of sand, Words like quicksilver, slip through your hand. They'll vanish in mist, leaving you alone, A game well played, to a heart of stone. "Don't hate the player," they'll coldly proclaim, Leaving you broken, whispering your own name. But listen closely, a truth to behold, Don't fear the risk, a story untold. Love with courage, with...

Guilty Pleasure

You profess love for both of us, yet it's evident your affection is divided. You cherish her like a warm, homemade meal, made with love, evoking feelings of comfort and serenity, reminiscent of a sunrise. Conversely, your love for me is akin to the exhilarating drop of a rollercoaster. It's an adrenaline rush that briefly lifts you out of your seat, reminding you of the thrill of being alive. I am your adrenaline fix, your fleeting high. My concern lies in the fact that those who crave adrenaline often lose interest. Nobody falls deeply in love with a temporary rush. There's a danger in romanticizing the thrill, as it can lead people to ruin their lives chasing an unattainable fantasy. She's your safety net, your seatbelt. I'm your wild ride, your partner in crime. She's your voice of reason, your "play it safe" mantra. I'm your "limit is the sky" mentality. My love is a momentary pleasure, whereas your love for her is a lifelong commitme...
