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. October 14, 2019 5:20 am PST

When I wrote it, I did not realize that. It's one of those poems that wrote me, not I, the poet. Thank you and yes, I do hear their exuberant joy...

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!!!

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....
