Romeo

My fair Romeo is likened to an autumn leaf,
Blushing and fair.

Like the sunrise and the sunset,
I look forward to his embraces day and night.

Immortal is my love for him,
He is an intellectual of worthy repute.

A knight to champion humanity,
He honours God's kingdom with his brave deeds.

I walk with him through the Garden of Eden,
He tempts me with the forbidden fruit.

I liken him to my favorite conversation,
Enamored by his wilful ways.

Strong as a giant oak,
Each leaf a companion and friend.

This romantic poem reads like it came right from the Shakespeare play. I'd advise you to beware "the forbidden fruit," but life is short and we humans give in to temptation. As you say, it all started in "the Garden of Eden" and I doubt it will ever change. Cherish your Romeo! Love, Carolyn
