Best Romeo Poems
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,lovers they!
To refuse on this fetid earth to stay.
And of poison did imbibe and hence
dance forever in a moonlit sky.,
Willing to live in eternity, together. oh!
Not a beautiful flower, nor a stunning
sunset, no!
Could keep them here, why, on this so
controlling a place!
Be still this night and you will hear their
enchanting and bubbling laughter..
It whispers in trees, eternally, day and
night, a fortnight and foreverafter.
Poem ~1~
February 14, 2024
I thought, love, I would never find. And then suddenly, I was spell bound
It would blow your mind! For the love I have for you is so profound
You came into my life way back when, and like magic you stole my heart
The love was universal poetry and I would follow you from the start
I would follow you to the ends of the earth; beyond the rainbow’s bend
If I die before you, I’ll rebirth! ..For you are my Juliet and I am your
Romeo!
I wasn’t looking for love, just having fun, sharing some inspiration
Never thought I’d come to love again, this was not my expectation
You say I stole your heart, well, mine got stolen too!
And yes, we did write beautiful poetry which forever stands as good
I’ll always be your angel in and out of time, because of this special bond
And should I die before you, I’ll return! For you are my Romeo and I, your
Juliet!
Years and years have been lost to time, thousands of days,
nights, and morrows seen and despised out of immense ache,
The Juliet of my early youth is no more, transformed into a
stranger, yet my love dies not! Though I plead and beg for
her to recall and rekindle the love affair of many moments ago,
She bears news of her plans of wedded bliss to another, news that
I curse my eyes for seeing, ears for hearing, and heart for knowing
is true! With desolate heart and soul, corrupted mind, and disregard
of future as that of a mad man, I fall to my knees and scream,
"God and heaven alike, I defy and deny you both! For no
father of mine would rip asunder my motivation for humanity!
Nor does any paradise remain alive without her presence!"
Be it his decree that I hurt for eternity both alive and deceased
then be it my decree that his life and love never was!
Thus I have become what I am, with no rue nor shame,
For I am not the tender Romeo that once lived and breathed,
No more do I dwell in her heart or mind, and no more do I wish
any essence of a Romeo dwell inside my soul, for my Juliet
is buried and lost in abundances of new days. No day, nor night,
nor morrow is good for me, Sans trust, Sans faith, Sans morality,
Sans love do I wish to have or hold, Dead but still breathing I am,
Condemned to memories and dreams of elated yesteryears,
denying my own will, but loyal to that promise which cannot
be broken by even the cold lifelessness of heartache, I shriek,
and yawp, and yell, and raise my voice beyond the sting of pain, as
I wake each night, bleeding the same sound from my lips,
"Juliet!, Juliet!!, Juliet!!!" Repeated until my eyes are dry and
my voice is drained to the most silent of whispers, I force out,
over tears, over ache, over agony, over all, in one last breath,
"Juliet"
Thou lay'st like a rose on deaths pillow
Silent and still, unsoothed by lifes request
Asleep the dawns and days of all and all
Eternity. My lovely Juliet
Wherefore art thou companions company?
Dost thou mockest life? "O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty"
Knows't not you of these intense tears that grow
Onto your soil a river of a kind
Thou body blooms, unscarr'd from cheek to bone
Thus trees and rivers art jealous of thine scent
But be it may thy mouth will ne'er move
Upon itself to echoe, Romeo!
Nay life will ne'er become a friend in hand
And I to life a friend, nay, I think not
The sun and moon shalln't make for watching eyes
To view me with life and not with thee, my love
Thyself I say art bandy with thyself
Yet man of all, I'm troubled at thy race
'Twas not the serpent that reward Eve bale?
And God created man, and bale is man
For in our families doth men collide
To often foredo every innocent thing
With swords where-in great morning and lights night
Tis fineless feuds our families perform
What bravery to birth our tragedy!
I balk that flesh is where abodements lay
O wife, I canst o'er-crow life in thine distance
May I afront death as thy hath approach'd?
Perchance I die with drink. Ay, there's the rub!
No time to fettle, ay, at once death come
Into my life as I drink thee in full
Slowly thy soul escapes. Thou art foredone
Soon to bewray thyself with waiting wife
Romeo and Juliet; How tragic is love
7-8-11
Romeo Jaxx had a friend for a fool
So he never thought "Baby's in love."
He fought for his rights
and he slept through your dreams
With his self-centred wolverine paralysed
Drove out of the camp on a bright summer's day
waving last weekend's pass-out goodbye
Phoned Jenny, then Julie, who never complained
Filled his tank, with the world running dry.
Throws off the fatigues now, just too tired to fight,
He will walk to the beat
of another man's drum
sometimes valour's the best part of sin.
With a grin shoves his ring
on the pawnbroker's manicured thumb.
Now this story splits down three parallel lines.
My version, the truth and your lies
You saw him conversing with 12-year-old Jim
in myriad tongues, his back to the wind.
I found him saluting a girl in Key West,
Where admirals croak and malingerers lie.
We both know he broke each old, weary taboo
Well, salmon will leap
when they're straining to die.
Maybe Romeo Jaxx is of much sterner stuff
And never was swayed from some destiny's path.
Straight as a die
but the die is now cast,
the cast are now blind
and the blind are aghast.
Our Romeo sees that there's no one ahead
don't tell him, there's no one behind.
A lady once called me a romantic devil
In these sweet loving words, I forever will revel
My poems are comedy driven
My tender side is usually hidden
Stay tuned my friends, I have Romeo potential
(A Collaboration w/JAM)
I thought, love, I would never find. And then suddenly, I was spell bound
It would blow your mind! For the love I have for you is so profound
You came into my life way back when, and like magic you stole my heart
The love was universal poetry and I would follow you from the start
I would follow you to the ends of the earth; beyond the rainbow’s bend
If I die before you, I’ll rebirth! ..For you are my Juliet and I am your
Romeo!
I wasn’t looking for love, just having fun, sharing some inspiration
Never thought I’d come to love again, this was not my expectation
You say I stole your heart, well, mine got stolen too!
And yes, we did write beautiful poetry which forever stands as good
I’ll always be your angel in and out of time, because of this special bond
And should I die before you, I’ll return! For you are my Romeo and I, your
Juliet!

For those concerned: This is JAM's Proposition and I obliged...now I already know that this will generate all the talk on Soup!! Have fun guys!
Shakespeare's quill gave Romeo and Juliet a tragic ending
but that's a sad love story I think needs a bit of mending.
Yes, he's the Bard, but quite frankly it broke my heart
to learn they both died needlessly. I hated that part.
In my rewritten dialogue between them, I'd find a way
to change their ill-fated future and have Juliet say,
"Romeo, it's only for you that my heart will ere yearn.
I will simply fake my death and when our families learn
that we've left Verona, we will be married... man and wife
and be together as we have planned, happy with life."
The messenger she sent to give Romeo the good news,
I'd replace with a more diligent one that I would choose.
I'd have made the couple more intelligent and shrewd,
perhaps put an end to the Montague and Capulet feud.
The tale of star-crossed lovers would end on a happy note,
without Juliet seeming to have died. No need for an antidote.
When Juliet says, "Romeo. Romeo. Wherefore art thou?"
He would come to her on the balcony, and he would vow...
"Juliet, I swear, never did my heart love until now.
For I never saw true beauty til this night,
and if perchance our families had forbidden us to wed,
from Verona we would've left. From Italy we would've fled.
With apologies to Shakespeare, my edit I would offer,
not a penny nor one Euro would I take for my coffer.
Indulge me for just a moment for I'm a romantic at heart,
and dared alter the ending by not keeping the couple apart.
Take Me to the Balcony, Romeo!
On this joyful warm Spring Day,
Let's hide in our private balcony and play!
This is all, your sweetest Juliet asks.
In your young, most passionate arms to bask.
You, like a god of a scented,sensual Spring,
On my unblemished lips, please do implant,
Sensual seeds of hot moisture that blows
So brightly, in your heart's love chamber!
Run your most seductive hands through
My shining tresses fondly waiting!
I am totally yours for the taking.
Kiss me, ever so softly now!
Yes, loving you Romeo, for eternity.
A most desirable and yet, I pray,
Not a dangerous undertaking.
Just we two., eternally,magic making!
Amorously,
Your 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.

Romeo and Juliet take a hike
You had something pretty nice
I've got the whole world but I'm alone
I've become a one girl tragedy
Out of my mind
Lost capacity
A ghost who wishes to be seen
Pathetically partner less cause
Love's been one sided affair
Romeo and Juliet; at least they were a pair
Love is not won by conquest,
But by love.
If you really love someone
Don't force her
To go against her nature.
It's by far a disaster.
Don't wait her speak first,
When she's most helpless.
She will be moved by compassion,
And anger later.
He who initiates love most
Receives the love he deserve.
Love shared by two
In war and peace,
Is the most epic of all
Ever written in a love story.
They say that distance is just a number
A space between you and me
Full of people, animals, buildings, and they
Don’t know how much I suffer!
I think of those long two thousand miles
When you tell me you want to see me
But to me, it is all impossible
Because…
YOU can barely leave your town!
And I have the whole world cradled in my palm
Possibilities are endless, time is of the essence!
I think of you everyday and that distance
Of how unfair it is that you and I
Don’t have the luxury of holding hands and waking up together
The three hour time difference makes you sleep earlier than me
And wake up when I’m still dreaming
And when I wake up, I see you’ve already
Dragged yourself to school and plunged yourself into the day
But there you are, waiting for me to tell you
I love you and am proud to know of you
And there are days when you
Are no longer emotionally present
And I will always be there, even if the distance stands
Remember I was there when you and your girlfriend of four years
Broke off your relationship for good,
And you were there when I left the boy I was dating
Because I was suffering inside, too
Remember I was there when you needed schoolwork to be done
And I stayed up in the long hours of the night
Typing away for you, as if I were you
And I was there when you were scared of losing me
Reassuring you that I would never leave
Even though ONE click of a button
Can erase you from my life forever!
I love you
Because you never doubted me, and never EVER told me
I couldn’t follow my dreams and desires
And you never once told me that my tastes
Were stupid and too unusual for someone my age
And I never once told you that I thought
You were too strange to be liked
So we became Romeo and Juliet
Because you said Juliet was like my name
And I could only reciprocate your romantic gesture
And STILL, after all this time, after all we’ve been through
You’re still my Romeo
Even though the distance between us still stands!
But they say distance is just a number…
And it is, so just you and me
Let’s bring the number down to zero
