Book Karma Forbidden Love

She was soft and beautiful,
he unkempt and tough.
She a chieftan's daughter,
he a diamond in the rough.
She was shy and quiet,
he was coarse and gruff.

It took him time to woo her.
At first she wouldn't look
for if she showed him love
her family she forsook.
But feelings swelled inside her
like the spring into the brook.

The couple met in secret
till one day they were found
and brought before her father,
stripped and bruised and bound,
and, shivering in terror,
were flung apon the ground.

They waited on his mercy,
lonely and forlorn.
Their punishment pronounced
Apon the coming morn.
The shaman was brought to them
and changed the lover's form.

They say she is the ocean
and he the shifting sands.
She doomed to yearn forever
towards eternal land,
a warning to secret lovers
together they still stand.

He rides apon the breezes
reaching for his love.
Her mournful voice cries out
and blows in from above -
She whispers "Lovers everyehere
beware forbidden love!"
