Panagiota Romios Poet I do not know?

Romeo and Juliet

Such deep, impassioned, love
startles our mortal ways.
Could we possibly have that
same eternal love?
Flowing in our souls and blood,
and being blind, make light of it?

How blessed, how young, how
fortunate, they!
To refuse on this vexacious earth 
to stay.
Like new wine from the vine, they
still in sky tiptoe, in love, do play.

Willing to live in eternity, oh!
Not a beautiful flower, nor stunning 
sunset, no....
Could keep them here, this so fractured
and temporal a place.

Be still, and you will hear their joy and
romantic laughter.
It whispers in trees, both day and
night, all seasons and forever after.

Robert Lindley October 14, 2019 at 8:05 AM My friend, the beauty, inspiration and depth of this creation awes me. The closing stanza is magnificent in its inspiring positive joy and understanding of human life, romantic relationships and reality in this world that reveals love and its good and its bad are the price paid for we that take the leap. This is a superb fav!!! Panagiota Romios October 14, 2019 at 8:17 AM Robert, I so honor your opinion, always.I know it won't be read much but that does not detract from its own glory! There are so many great poets here, new and older. I just want to create beauty, not a fan club.-))) You know my meaning, am positive of that. The joy....is in the creation in my view. The stars in the sky, understand it....that's enough plus true friends....a FAV, thank you....
