Love’s Tragedy

In fair Verona where we lay our scene,
Inamorata Juliet and Romeo, so keen,
Two hearts entwined, but destiny so cruel,
Their love was doomed, made a mere fool.

Forbidden passion, a feud so old,
Their love a candle in the cold,
A tender flame, too bright too last,
A love so pure, deemed a thing of the past.

Their love so pure, their hearts so true,
They dared to dream of a life anew,
But fate had plans, and it was unkind,
Sundering two lovers so intertwined.

Tragic love, the world doth know,
Their fate a tale that long shall flow,
Eternal love, this truth we hold,
Their love immortal, never to grow old.

Star-crossed Lovers

The stars have spoken, forever sealed,
A fate so grim, their love unhealed,
Romeo and Juliet, star-crossed in the sky,
Their love eternal, but doomed to die.

Their love a bond, that knows no bound,
A passion fierce, in which they found,
A solace sweet, a story worth to tell,
A love that conquered, and rose to swell.

But fate had other plans, and so they say,
The strings of life, that hamper and fray,
Their love unbound, ripped apart,
Two hearts shattered, broken and thwart.

Their legacy lives on, a sight to admire,
Their love depicted, in ode and lyre,
A love so pure, that never grows old,
A tragedy so profound, yet a story to be told.

Long Poems

Eternal Love

In Verona, where the streets are made of cobblestone,
Two lovers’ story was told, a story to be known.
Romeo and Juliet, their love was perfect and true,
For them, the world revolved around the love they knew.

The Montagues and Capulets, their families’ ongoing feud,
A wall that separated them, a barrier that they brewed.
But love knows no boundaries, no limits, and no walls,
For Romeo and Juliet, their love was the strongest of them all.

A balcony scene, a whispered vow, a promise meant to keep,
Their hearts intertwined, love they couldn’t help but reap.
The stars above them shone, a light upon their fate,
Their love was destiny, a love that was meant to be great.

But fate had other plans, a tragedy they couldn’t evade,
A plan that would leave them both shattered and dismayed.
A potion to fake death, a plan to reunite in life,
But fate played its hand, and it all ended in strife.

Both lovers were buried, side by side they lay,
Their love was forever, even when they passed away.
For love has the power to transcend death and time,
Romeo and Juliet’s love will forever shine.

In Verona, where their love story began,
Their love remains eternal, for all to understand.
For true love knows no boundaries, no time, and no space,
Romeo and Juliet, their love has stood the test of fate.

The Tragic Tale of Romeo and Juliet

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
A pair of star-cross’d lovers would convene.
Young Romeo, with heart full of desire,
Pines for sweet Juliet, his heart’s one empire.

Their families, the Capulets and Montagues,
Engaged in a feud that inflames and rages.
But the lovers’ flame burns hot and bright,
Burning through the bitter backdrop of their plight.

They steal away to secret rendezvous,
Where they exchange vows and profess their love anew.
But fate is not kind, and hate runs deep,
And soon their love is threatened by Romeo’s leap.

He slays Tybalt, a cousin of Juliet’s
And is banished under the prince’s writs.
Despondent and lost, Romeo returns,
Desperate for Juliet’s warmth and her yearn.

With the help of a friar and a vial of potion,
Juliet fakes her death to set in motion
A plan to reunite with Romeo once more,
But it all goes awry and they both ignore

The tragic ending that awaits them both
A poison that will take their lives and growth.
In the Capulet tomb, they both lie,
Their love and their lives, finally peacefully lie.

This tale of woe and star-crossed love,
Has been told and retold, with passion, and above
All else, the lesson we take from their fate,
Is love must not be impeded by anger full of hate.
