Lovers Undercover

God, forgive our love, as we sink in waves of fear.
Unrestrained sizzle and savour, a web tangles us near.
Our starving souls burn, ablaze in glowing ember.
Sparks of fiery frissons, so exciting to remember.   
Forgotten promises broken, we choose not to hear.
Thrill of forbidden love, simmers in lively cheer. 
Friendship laced touch , takes an  amorous steer. 
Wanting what we shouldn't, in guilt we drown together.
 God, forgive our love.
In addiction of passion, our conscience go unclear,
Moths dancing on flame, we still risk the chandelier. 
Erratic hearts yearn and swoon, in captivated tether,
Under clandestine cover, we feel worse or better?
Illicit, they call it, but isn't it also love,.. pure, sincere?
God, forgive our love.
