Forbidden love

"o Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou "Romeo"? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a capulet."

 

Romeo takes Juliet by the hand.

He kisses her sweet lips, warmly.

He tells her he'll be sworn her love.

A few days later, the two are married.

A secret, sworn to them.

But Romeo's in parrel now,

for the crime he commited is forelorned.

He killed a capulet it seems,

and now he must pay the price.

He runs away,

and Juliet is saddend by this.

She seeks a release from this life,

if her beloved Romeo cannot be with her,

then there is no reason for her to live.

She pretends to be dead,

and Romeo finds her in the grave yard.

He drinks his poison,

and thus dies with a kiss.

But then, Juliet awakens.

She see's her beloved Romeo dead,

and kisses his mouth,

in the hopes for lingering poison.

But the capulets are coming,

so Juliet must be brief.

She pulls a dagger from Romeo's pocket,

and takes her own life away.

In the end,

the capulets find them.

An end to a sad story.

 

"The sun, for sorrow,

Will not show his head.

Go hence, to have more talk

of these sad things--

Some shall be pardoned,

and some punished.

For never was a story of more woe,

than this of Juliet,

and her Romeo."

 

Author's Note

I will take no credit for this. Sure, I wrote the poem, but Shakspeare's the one who wrote the story.

aww this is so sweet i like it

[Angie Diane♥&hea..]

I think the poem is good. I like the way it does have a little bit of Shakespearean references. I really think the story was sad. I watched two versions of the movie and it was really upsetting. I liked the modern version better than the one that I watched in school...I like this though. Thanks for sharing.
