We met after an age determined
‘Twas an ocean of emotions withinBoth led on a path the universe loathedWhat were we but lovers star crossed?We drenched in rain and enjoyed mountain breezeAnd played through pastures and the maple treesWe gained less and more we lostDid we know we were lovers star crossed?We trode troublous with a dream ‘twill change destinyWe’d live in eternal love and harmonyWhat fools were we, can destiny be changed at allForgot that we were lovers star crossedInjured, hurt in search of twilight we accepted defeatLike the parallel lines walk together but never can meetE’vry star around happy as we exhaustAfter all we were the chosen lovers star crossedNow we are away and do all that is rightNot heeding to the earth that misses the sun at nightAccept it and say to each otherMy Love, we keep the tryst for life another.With the Sun, Moon and Stars agleamLove and live for a united dreamThe sparrows and the cuckoos singing eloquent vespersAlas we sha’nt be lovers star crossed
This is my very very humble attempt to pay a small tribute to the great work of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The term star crossed lovers was first coined in this epic work. To read more star crossed lovers.
