ROMEO - DEATH & MAYHEM a spectreverse short story [book R]

Two syndicates, both alike in dignity,
In a cruel gangland, where we lay our scene,
From fragile truce to romantic risk,
Where red and green blood share a secret tryst.
From forth the fated chance of these two bloodlines
A pair of star-cross'd lovers reclaim their life;
Whose past and future intertwines
Do with their union bury a tenuous strife.
Unsuspecting their death-mark'd love,
Would solidify their families' truce,
Which, but for a brutal betraying end, nought could armistice be removed.
Is now the abridged traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
