The Lovers of Modena Disturbed

The Lovers of Modena Disturbed

 

When a scream was released

sixteen hundred

years ago, but heard only

yesterday ..

Their secret was out in seconds

even before

all the rumours got underway

and it spread

like a wildfire, unchecked far

and wide ..

Tho’ until a date, place and number

were all duly

assigned .. they were nothing

but history and

all their bones were taken away ..

 

Had it not been

for a freak of an accident tho’

They might well

have laid there forever, in their

permanent

and loving embrace, frozen

in time ..

With a reason for their untimely

demise, both

conveniently and reverently denied ..

They happened to be lovers of the same sex. Where there is love there is no sin, but bigots will tell you differently. I wrote a poem about the Lovers of Valdero, found after centuries, in a dying embrace, face to face. How could anyone not be moved by that? A post showing compassion and tolerance Neville.
