Poems on Love and Life

Romeo and Juliet (twist)

this juliet was bleeding

her soul's bright fire dim

in a life of sorrows

it was sink or swim

on the shore she saw him

a romeo, prince of the night

against all odds she reached out

and turned from garish light

then he pulled her from the tide

saved the dying maid

she afraid to love him

and yet by her side he stayed

with blind faith she followed

into his shadow she fell

seduced by black and velvet

drunk of passion's spell

a day spent long in bliss

a moment meant so much

and no more was this juliet

starved from love's sweet touch

then the darkness overcame

in silence he left her there

never saw her tears fall

or heard her heartstrings tear

left alone in pain

once again she did bleed

shackled by other's power

longing to be freed

once again, yet time was short

in twisted fate they met

in shaded seconds spent together

yet no where did they get

again ripped apart by time

and distance seals the fate

now all this juilet feels

is pain, despair, and hate

she cries without a tear shed

she lives without a soul

she curses the one she loves now

for everything he stole

'I love you' she did long to hear

but these were words he never said

and now this juliet lays weeping

and wishes she were dead
