Verboten Flame

Ecstasy- passions high from a forbidden dream.
With a stolen glance the wind paints the skies,
illusions of broken light dance between separate eyes,
and the explosions in my chest raise my self-esteem.
Now I see the good of evil and the joy in painful cries,
I hear the music of life belting its beautiful theme,
and I feel a power that is so raw and extreme-
that I can only take another look at you for a reprise.

In the form of vivid fantasies- worlds suddenly open.
The need to touch, to feel, to be in you haunts time-
and it makes stars collide as these needs continue to grow.
I try to quit by pushing out these dreams but they come again,
always bringing those images and feelings that will never sublime.
So I beg you take these tortured eyes and teach them how to go.

Author's Comments

I quickly fell in love with this theme, story, and emotions. If you dig deep into the symbolism than you will find emotions of love and confusion and the themes pull on love, letting go, and lust.
This wasnt writen for anyone that I am in 'love' for. It is a story all to common to me and I have many friends (as well as myself) being haunted by these aspects.
Tell me what you think!

Tell you what i think? I think it's amazing!

It begins strong and doesn't slow down for anything.

It was a favorite by the third line.

Amazing, wow! once more you have made a great peice. This is what i love to see, a great story filled with images, symbolism, and themes.
the images of tortured eyes add so much depth and it is added nicely to the entire stealing a look concept, i found this to be a nice way to conect that feeling.
the emotions- what can i say? see in the good in evil and hearing joy in pain are fantastic ways to explain these feelings going on when u are drawn to a lover.
the symbolism of star colliding is the phenomena of love and yet it can hold things that are not not possibe. The broken light is very interesting...i personally see it to be light is hope and hope is now lost....what was ur original intention?
the theme....priceless. not only is it true, but you hit the nail on the head. fantastic work.
I LOVE the piece.

wow, and this is what i love seeing- analyzing. i know i dont usually analyze others work but i try to every once in awhile. thanks.
the entire story/themes are from fragments of different struggles. I have had friends dealing w/ different forms of love, lust, and acceptance that i tried to pull into the piece. The broken light is 2 things, yes broken hope/dreams for me personally. The broken light also is used to symbol one other things and it includes a little science knowledge. When white light is broken via a prism, we get a rainbow. A rainbow is also a symbol homosexual symbol. So it was added to suggest sexual confussion.
Thanks for all the feedback!
