Forbidden

Smiles, smirks, darting glances sheathed in knowing
Electronic conspiracies, hurriedly hidden
Lamented loss of lascivious language
Consumed hungrily by obfuscate sense of preservation

Racing, thready, prickling blood
Agitated spaces and pauses in-between
Pantomime indifference when proximity presents
Dangerous distractions from tasks to complete

Manacled, chained, restricted and tied
Undeniable desires deprived chance to catch light
Beauty, humour and intellect form fuels for this pyre
Consequences threatening like aftermath ashes
