Truth Be a Liar

Question the lustrous brilliance of starlight burning like flares in murkiest hours of night. Ponder with skepticism that Earth moves. I will accept it, though my mind behooves. Tell me you believe that Truth can be a Liar, but not for a moment think that I will conspire with another. I vow before His Holiness above... Never will I give you cause to doubt my love. * Based on a scene from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

Beautiful write, Jenna. I never read Hamlet before but I really like Romeo and Juliet cause it seems the closer they came to death the more fiercely they loved each other. Thanks for sharing. Justin.

Good morning and thank you, Justin. If you enjoyed Romeo and Juliet, you would like the story of Hamlet and Ophelia. Check out the current movie on Netflix...'Ophelia'

Ages ago I was an expert on Hamlet. Wonder what part you are referring to. Maybe his love for Ophelia. Hamlet is a wonderful play. Hugs.

Good morning, and thanks, Victor. Yes, Act 2, Scene 2. There is a Netflix movie out called, Ophelia, which gives the story from her perspective. Quite well done.
