Mumbled Whispers

Love gives women and men reason to live and continue the struggle that is life. For many, love alone is not the only reason; we can't all be dreamers. There are times when love intrudes on convention and one is asked to sin for love. It is said those who sin will be called upon to answer for their transgressions, but since time immemorial, fear of pain and punishment has failed to deter when both are part of the allure. And so it is with the women and men described in the following verses. The retellings pale in comparison, for words cannot fully describe the passions and the pain experience when one loves. Still I put words to paper and try. Take note, plagiarism is unavoidable, for 'love' has been written of on an infinite number of occasions, there little that is new. Should you recognize your name among the words that follow, fear not, for names have been changed and situations altered to conceal, but for one.
