FORBIDDEN AFFECTION

I relinquish myself each time I gaze into your eyes,  perceiving feelings recognized only once before. Your spirit pierces my heart completely, with a yearning that refuses to retreat. I have found tranquility, which has come from no other, unrelenting exclusively while you are in my sight.  Confusing emotions and yet powerful they actuate, decided devotion that is held intimately within me. You overflow my spirit with assurance and purpose, with uniqueness which I privately can't deny! Having passion for you may only be an illusion, you are not within my reach; yet the desire will not pass. I am perplexed and intensely bewildered by you, knowing that boundaries are unyielding between us. I have searched so laboriously to find peace and balance, now this discovery takes me totally unprepared. You’ve brought out desperate and profound feelings, more than anyone has touched in an eternity. As intricate as reality is, they arise evident to me, affection for you forbidden, yet desiring for it to ensue.  This commitment is not ordinary in ways expected,  perhaps only requesting that you love me as I am.  For what I yearn for from you is respect untainted, the tenderness of your touch when you are close by. I know it is infeasible to experience all of you, by virtue of who you are and the limitations set before us. You have supplied me with adventures to glance at life anew, I honestly didn’t anticipate these feelings I have for you.
