Love child

 

Blue-orange flames dance high in the fireplace
as old love letters burn the secrets known
locked away, hidden, our love a disgrace
concealed in darkness,of love sins there sown
fraught with forbidden fruit,angel's despair
who would forgive ? an ill-fated affair
bore a treasure fair, of love's secret kept
condemned lovers were we, who would forget?
A myriad questions, ev'ryone asked
avoiding sad -dark truths~ with vague replys
answers in written proof,now lie in ash
revealed in grey smoke, a love secret dies
 
Tho~ parted by distance,and time has flown
Our love child,our secret,shall ne'er be known

Awesome opening imagery, with the flames doing double-duty -- both heightening & destroying feelings. Your message shows us many faces of such an illicit affair, but most of all, the need for secrecy, thus the opening & the ending are nicely tied together to hide all that's inside. Very interesting use of "love child" (a term I haven't heard in a couple decades!)

It's been said that our karma will always reveal hidden secrets of our past...karma being memories of a past life and knowing we are doomed to repeat history...we live our lives over and over as destiny deems. But who can deny love in whatever medium. I loved this write Fran. It goes to show you are only too human.
Love...Liz
