Forbidden Love Songs

More about the book

How can love songs be "forbidden"? They can be when the love is between two men in the late '90s and one person is already in a relationship with someone else. This collection of poems is about falling in love when you're 3,000 miles apart. The poems were written over the course of a few months at the beginning of a passionate yet challenging love affair. Many of the poems were actually written in airports after a tearful good-bye and not knowing when I would see him again. Some of the poems were written after my partner's tragic loss of his parents in a homicide/suicide. 22 years later, we're still together today and I love him now more than ever!
