Silent the Castle Walls

Stillness held love's flowers, in distant gazes spilling from their palms.. A cats meow, resounding atop timeless rafters; peering at her stage About a sixteenth century romance; dramatica, close the castle doors Hush the crowd betwixt breath they keep; frozen, amid that their heart ? As Juliet lifts her tearful blade and Romeo's love, now fast asleep; dreams... Not weep as time does part to gather once more aneath, these faraway stars.

Well penned Johnny! Your reference to the cat made me think about the cat's nine lives - it's like the cat bears witness to what goes on, on stage and uses its lives to pass the message to the next generation so that we all can appreciate the epic love story. Well penned!
