Forbidden Love
I watch
you from afar, meet your gaze
Mentally scribble
a quick prayer
Not to
drown. Heart pounding!
Life
includes shadows and deserts
You need
to cross!
I catch a
glimpse of you
and my
heart explodes
In a
myriad of scarlet sensations.
I try to
fade my smile
In my
inner self, something must die.
Fragile
and yet bold beauty!
You'll
never belong to me.
Sandrine
Plantec
(Translated from French by Sandrine Plantec)
Sandrine spent her childhood and early adulthood in Bordeaux, France, not far from the Atlantic Ocean, a region which undoubtedly shaped her with its huge swathes of silent pine forests contrasting with the ocean's strength. She graduated 30 years ago from university as an English teacher with a taste for literature and linguistics. She lives happily in Tours with her husband and their three children. Writing poetry is one of her passions.
