LOVES GRAVE

Who knows what happened in Capulet monument,

Between Romeo and his Juliet,

The night true love was defined

All we know is that love was stronger than life,

Imagine yourself in the moment,

that love and life collided.

You go to your love's grave,

Dead but only hours,

You kiss her lips, still warm with breath.

In a depressed rage,

you drink a vile of poison,

As you are taking your last breath,

You feel a loving hand caress your face,

As you realize that you have become

Love's Grave!

This poem is absolutely beautiful. You can feel the whole meaning on it coming out in the words of one of the greatest known play-writes!

That is another way to put it. This is so good that I think that they should have had someone recite it in the movie of Romeo & Juliet after they have passed, but seeing how this was not written when the movie came out we could always picture it right? ^.-. I loved it. Gorgeous darlin' keep up the fantastic work O.-

Romeo made a big mistake. He killed himself, Thinking that his beloved died, and then she comes out, finds him dead, then she kills herself. Dead. Died. I don't really like it, but I liked the poem. Keep it up!
