Siding With Love

Sun, 04/02/2017 - 12:13 -- ACME

Written from the point of view of Juliet from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet:

Sitting beside a raging summer fire,
Feeling the flames tap my hollow heart,
How can one have such desire,
For her soul’s counterpart?
Longing under the moonlight to be complete,
A completeness that from such calamity will not come,
Crossing the line between Capulet and Montague is thorny feat,
Our love would be the beating of a war drum.
So beat the drum shall because love conquers all,
Our love could bind the families divided,
So for him I’ll call,
And with love I’ve sided.
