Bound in Secret Love

KINE

Two hearts, bound in secret love, endure their life

Prominent leaders, of high rank and might

Their parents, too, positions in government’s light

The world, it seems, could never understand

Their love, forbidden, branded with reprimand.

In whispered tones, and in stolen moments shared

Their love burns bright, a flame that cannot be compared

Behind closed doors, they meet in the night

And in each other’s arms, they find respite.

Their worlds collide, but they cannot be free

Their love grows stronger, though it must remain withdrawn.

And as they lead their armies to the fray

Their love remains hidden, in the heat of the day

Only in the shadows, can their love show.

As the years go by, and the war does not cease

Their love remains strong, a bond that brings peace

For in a world of strife, of endless conflict and pain

For even in the midst of strife and endless pain

They know their love will someday see the light again

even though they must remain apart for now

So they fight on, with the hope in their hearts

That someday soon, they'll no longer be kept apart

They dream of a future where they take their vows.
