This love must be made manifest.
I sing, I wax poetic, I create the beats, I mix the FX. I am the band.
I do spoken word poetry, with some beats behind it.
Story behind the song
Experimenting with different types of beats, I find that certain cominations of loops, samples and random sounds create an ambience that virtually writes the poem that accompanies it. This is an example of that. The beat just drove me, as I listened to it, images of 'forbidden love' came to mind, and the poem and vocals just flowed from the heat of the beat composition.
Lyrics
Tossing,
turning.
Late at night,
a cold fever burning.
In my heart,
in my soul,
wanting you has made me bold.
Sing the song of forbidden lust.
Dance the dance of broken trust.
Your love,
my desire,
births a storm that fans the fire of
hearts aflame in the dark of night,
souls in synch seeking out the light.
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love,
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love.
It’s from God above
or the Devil below,
we’re only human so
how can we know?
All that I can say is that
you’re the way through the
darkest pit or the
highest heights
If this is wrong
I don’t want to be right.
Sing the song of forbidden lust.
Dance the dance of broken trust.
Your love,
my desire,
births a storm that fans the fire of
hearts aflame in the dark of night,
souls in synch seeking out the light.
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love,
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love.
Living,
learning.
Tempting God
because my soul is yearning.
For your gentle touch
and your soulful kiss,
it’s so hard for me to keep
living like this.
Sing the song of forbidden lust.
Dance the dance of broken trust.
Your love,
my desire,
births a storm that fans the fire of
hearts aflame in the dark of night,
souls in synch seeking out the light.
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love,
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love.
In the moments of our iniquity
I find peace and solace
from the storm,
the trials and travails of life
give way to the peace and comfort
of your presence,
you are my peace,
my refuge and my support.
In you, I see the reflection
of myself as I desire to be,
and a soul that soars
as high as my own as we share
this forbidden love.
Sing the song of forbidden lust.
Dance the dance of broken trust.
Your love,
my desire,
births a storm that fans the fire of
hearts aflame in the dark of night,
souls in synch seeking out the light.
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love,
It’s forbidden love,
forbidden love.
