About letting go.

Forbid me love

and all it’s arms

let go of me

turn off your charm

Deny me pain

that it always brings

Forbid me love

with thorns unseen…

Let me loose

from your stranglehold

Let me go

from sufferring untold

Deny me the bliss

of what our future holds

Forbid me love

with a heart so cold…

Release the bounds

don’t tighten the strips

For all may end

in your eyes that weep

Deny me the choice

of to keep or not to keep

Forbid me love

With an iron grip…

Forbid me love

that shackles and binds

Forbid me love

with jealousy that blinds

Forbid me love

that won’t let me grow

Forbid me love

that won’t let me go…

    You really struck a chord with this poem, it says everything, the pain and the difficult of letting go, even when you know you should … beautifully done.

    what was behind in this poem? Jealosy? By reading behind the lines, if the reader is not careful…it would lead to other meaning. However, each poet has an underlying meaning of every poem he writes.

    Forbid me love or forbidden love. I think the latter is hard to avoid my friend. A forceful poetry for valentine’s, kabayan.
