Romeo and Juliet: Immortal Love

Young lovers living in death's shadow Autonomous hearts bound by love's oath Freely skirting the binding traditions that cluttered their way Secretly espousing an innocuous, private romance that openly challenged  convention Amorous compatriots plotting a treasonous tryst  Initiating a temporal rapprochement that yielded a spiritual legacy   Twining branches of two long-severed limbs Brokers extending a healing love that widened a poisonous rift Sweet incense of sacrificed lambs rising from the rancid pyre of conformity Dispossessed of title and home, but vested with a nobler destiny Accepting their perilous fate with a blithe resignation    Bearing a reproach not of their own making Short-lived nightmare exchanged for an everlasting vigil Distilling their fleeting time together into love's eternal quotient Attaining immortality in the mutable literary discourse
