Star crossed

Beneath a sky of endless night, Two souls entwined,

 a fleeting light. Their love, a flame, 

pure and bright, Consumed by fate,

 lost to the night.

Star-crossed lovers, doomed to part,

 Their hearts forever torn apart.

 A tragic tale, a work of art, 

A love so pure, a love so smart.

They yearned for each other, 

day and night, Their love a beacon, 

shining bright. But cruel destiny, 

with all its might, Extinguished their love,

 plunged them in night.

Now echoes of their love remain,

 A haunting melody, a bittersweet pain. 

Their story etched, forever stained,

 A love lost, a love in vain.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

the rhymes really work and keeps the reader engaged. and i can certainly relate to the Romeo and Juliet in this story. describing that love as a flame is a fitting metaphor. it burns hot but it burns out fast.

[Antifranticbabydoll]

I think a lot of people can relate to a love lost, as you said. “It burns hot but it burns out fast.”
Star crossed love I don’t think it true love. I think it’s there for experience, to build you. You definitely learn from it, as intoxicating as it is.
Thank you for your review. —M
