Best Star Crossed Lovers 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~

After many cold winters, they met again,
Under the poplar tree on a starry moonlit night.
Though they had planned it over many a time,
It came to fruition after such long lapse of years.
Once they loved as no lovers could ever
In devotion, never had they faltered, never once failed,
But fate was sadly against this star-crossed pair,
And the young lovers had to part ways in pain.
Once again, the old classmates congregated,
Precisely at the same campus under the same tree
Though years have wrinkled its aged bark,
Still, it bears the indelible mark of a heart pierced by an arrow
To its cover they have been drawn once more
Not to renew their bond or weave fresh dreams,
But just to see and feel once and never more,
For a fleeting second to be in love’s prison bound.
An eloquent silence lingered deep.
The celestial bodies stood in breathless anticipation.
From the sepulchered past, dead worlds awoke.
They knew, separation had only accentuated their love.
Alas! Nothing could their severed lives entwine
Neither a kiss nor an embrace, the shattered years combine
Yet once more they put their arms around.
And for the last time they looked at each other.
Perhaps, they meant this as their last gesture of love,
Hoping its memory would fuel them when weary,
With eyes blurred and moistened with tears,
And billows of emotion rising sky high.
Fearing they would lose their composure,
Abruptly they turned their wan faces away.
Without another word of goodbye,
They walked away into the stillness of the night!
But her glass was more empty than full;
Romeo left her a burden to pull.
In the amber swirls she saw despair.
‘Twas then his dagger she did snare.
Here in a dark and lonely tomb,
she was a bride and he, her groom.
She could not live without him;
it would make her life too grim.
Sad and crying, which way to turn?
She felt the dagger’s sharp blade burn,
As it slipped into her chest,
all the while her love she professed.
Soon her love appeared again
amidst heaven’s lush green glen.
Star-crossed lovers now shine at night;
look at the sky and follow their light.

darkness yells out the daylight
charcoal pencil images
join to dance within the void
shadows kissing in thin air
on this black magic evening
suddenly they disappear
star crossed - like silhouettes lit

Two souls met on the causeways of living;
and then by the end of their fateful meeting
a spore of love in him for the giving
sprung, and sprouted like hope by chance repeating:—
for him, 'twas a meeting worth reliving.
In spite of God and good conscience, he felt
her lonely eyes—her blue, sad, lonely eyes;
and at her lovelorn manner he did melt.
Like Helen of Troy, she was a great prize
of tragic beauty (on which he hence dwelt).
Never was a soul more smitten or more sad
than his, for she could not give him her hand
in marriage. Still, she was eager and more glad
to give him a night of great passion and
not save herself for her fiancé—that cad!
How he loved her intensely—so sublime
and lovely was she! She gave him her heart
and undying love for the rest of time:
but flesh and body she could not, apart
from the lines here in this eternal rhyme.
This is a Romer & Juliet Poem.
I love that book.
------
Victims of fate,
Running out of hope.
Hoping to get back together,
To be with their loved one forever.
Wishing to hold on to each other,
These star-crossed lovers.
The plans that never worked,
The ideas that had failed.
Soon this entire fate,
Will bee mislead cause of their demise.
Wishing to kill for one another,
These star-crossed lovers.
Always to be remembered.
This wife Juliet,
And her Romeo.
To love one another,
These star-crossed lovers.
These victims of fate.
They could have had hope.
These star-crossed lovers,
Will always have love.
We talked
Then walked
The stars aligned
Too briefly
Now two fates
Resigned
We hoped
We dreamed
But not to be
The ache
Frustrates
Reality
A senseless joy
When girl
Meets boy
To lose
Un-promised
Hopeful joy
Life is cruel
Life is kind
No guarantee
Of hearts
Designed
To meet
The purpose
Only time
Will tell
It's secret
To this
Living spell
The universe
Is not to blame
We are not pawns
In some
Heavenly
Game
The stars
Burn brightly
For the few
So brief, and yet
Such beauty, true.
Healing waits
And nothing's
Wasted
Just grateful
Briefest love
Was tasted
The heavenly firmament where the ocean meets
remains steadfast and tolerant
never changing and yet can count the stars.
Alone in splendor, repose a brief sojourn,
under a blue-green pinion balmy air
has slightly fluttered moving ethereal tides.
Star-crossed lovers move step by step in movements
of the celestial bodies, but constantly
besmirch by outside forces.
In the darkest and most vulnerable,
lissome steps tread the path where silent throes
are heard in waves jealous of blithesome wind.
Star-crossed lovers move step by step in movements
of the celestial bodies, threaded fingers,
no need of exchange of words.

He prowls around in search of something undisclosed.
So wrong for him to even want this, the way he does.
He spots her from a distance,
Perched high upon a precipice.
In dire need for what is now known to him as devine love.
She is innocence and purity in which he eludes.
He himself, darkness and danger
But
Deep down his desire stirs,
Awakening his soul.
Eager for her acceptance,
He lets her be his judge.
Despite of their differences
And
being worlds apart.
Thinking to himself, "Oh, Great beauty bring out the best part of me. I can be all that
you need."
Willing to do anything to be apart of her world,
A mere thought in her mind.
Theres nothing he wouldn't do, endore or sacrifice
all for the gift of her.
At last I am here lying by your side
For the day and the night has now collide.
Our long wait is over, we're at each arms
In the blanket of stars that makes us warm.
It is now our prints that we both can mark
For we got the light to empty this dark
We have crossed limits to be at the edge
Where there is a strong bond between our pledge.
I know you are true, so I trusted you
And I'm happy that you feel the same too.
Together we can rest leaving the pain
By going to a place where there's no rain.
Sometimes death is sweetest end to never
To be here with you my star-crossed lover.
Point of view of the girl and boy together.
Sonnet: Star-Crossed Lovers
Part 1
I am here gazing at the horizon
Wondering if you still do the same there
I know you exist in that part of zone
Where I can't be so I go out to stare.
I sit on rocks in this side of the sea
Looking at the emptiness of the night
Feeling the cold wind though I cannot see
Just a thought of you lingers my sole light.
Not once did I saw a shadow of you
Yes! I feel you there in the other side
I'll patiently wait for I know you're true
And like me you look in the sky so wide.
Each night that I'm alive I embrace tight
Moments to think of you thinking my flight.
Point of view of the girl who lives at night time.
You stole my heart,
with just one look,
a cheeky smile,
that's all it took
Your eyes shine bright,
like an open fire,
you fill my heart,
with such desire
Your flirtatious ways,
and non stop chatter,
the words you speak,
they do not matter
For when you're near by,
you are all I see,
there's nowhere else,
I would rather be
The love that I feel,
holds no limit,
my life would be worthless,
without you in it
I count the days,
when I see you once more,
waiting for a call,
or a knock at the door
It pains me to think,
of you with another,
'cause you are my Romeo,
we're start crossed lovers
The games that you play,
they give me confusion,
were the signs I saw,
all an illusion?
If you don't feel the same,
and want to depart,
I'll still be your friend,
just like at the start
Part 2
Now it's my turn so my agony steals
For another day has come to suffer
A pain that though I understand you feel
Our love real that can't be put together.
I am here in the brightness full of dark
In this same spot where you last went to see
Kissing every rock that your stay had marked
Living my handprints so you can hold me.
It is the least that I can do for now
But I keep on praying to Papa God
To help me accomplish all my heart's vows
And to make me the one you'll always have.
For I'm wanting to be there where you are
Even it's hard for we are star-crossed far.
Point of view of the boy who lives at day time.
A Venusian and Martian met one day
But a language barrier stood in their way.
They observed the stars
Between Venus and Mars
Still, they had very little to say.
Both are unique and complex in make
Desiring a love that would make Earth shake.
Though broken at heart
They must stay apart.
There are plenty more options to take.
If only their warring families knew
Of the chemistry existing between these two!
They might try to seek peace
Cultural conflicts may cease...
The Marnusians would be a form new.
Unfortunately life doesn't work that way
Whatever fairytales and fantasies say.
Each a star-crossed lover
Secret. Undercover.
Their affection doomed til their dying day.
She walked with God
and he walked alone
When they would meet
the relationship
became the three of them
But he would never accept
the power of the supreme
And so the battle began
of the star-crossed lovers
accompanied by the Man
"I believe in cave men"
he would say
as she would scream in horror
"We agreed our daughter would learn creationism"
she would plead
as he would look stupified
The bold and troublesome exchanges
never stopped
and it wouldn't be long that their relationship
would begin to topple over
And so the two of them, the woman and God
would leave the man to his own devices
and he would have nothing left but his tears
and confusion
But she would remain happy
as whereever she went
'He' was with her
As for the man
he has a black cat named Stella
and a Wawa supreme pizza everynight
