Forbidden Love

Lakshmi Nandana 2004 (Kerala)

The thread of eternity stolen,
Concealed in the depths of heart
Only the fear dare to tread.
Love, once boundless and free-
Now captive within,
A secret known to none.
Forbidden to all who seek it's flame.

About this poem

The thread of eternity, symbolising the love one person holds in her heart gets lost in the depths of heart where only her fears are hidden. That girl who used to live everyone and everything freely, now fears to think about love.
