Juliet

Just once may I see beauty that matches your own I have searched for such Returned alone Juliet thou escapeth the curses of time Romeo's sweetheart Intense flame that scorches those who seek to touch I reach out my hand Trembling Knowing I ask too much Even the sun bows in your radiance Morning dew compares not to the tears you shed As does the rivers that have rejuvenated new life Evening falls in quiet echoes of your footsteps Cradling past days as if they had just been born Show me creation And I shall show you it's flaws Yet show me Juliet And I shall show you perfection I beg of thee Sweet Juliet One moment in thy presence And I, this desperate Romeo This unworthy creature of despair I, Romeo's adversary Will kneel as thy servant evermore A Shakespearean boy In a 21st Century world
