Silent Nights —

A love poem shall we say? Two forbidden lovers? Their love unaccepted by friends, family, society? Their love being the only thing that holds them together? That keeps them happy? What do you think...?

I miss those silent nights,
under midnight lights.
The love seeping through our veins.

I miss the cold night air,
through the feel of your hair
and the kisses as we stood in the rain.

Despite the screeching of cars,
we were safe, beneath the stars.
Often forgetting our pain.

Your smile was a charm,
as you lay in my arms.
Those nights, a sleeping pill for your brain.

We were safer, we thought,
so we ought to get caught.
That's when the punishment came.

Yes maybe we gave in.
But now our safe haven
shall never be mentioned again.

~ M. J. Parker, Crux
