Romeo and Juliet
The love that knows no boundary set by clan;
The clans that know no love except for war;
The flower that dares to bloom, but never can;
This then the story Shakespeare told, in core.
And what the nature of a petty feud?
Where pride replaces peaceful, prosperous life;
Where little things as mountains are construed,
And things far greater die within

Where to Start Lyrics
So, thanks for the distractions
But I need to pursue my passions
What path am I on again?
My universe was turned upside down
I gave you my hearts crown
And you were too busy filling your purse
In other words, can I get a reimburse?
Of the curse of knowing you
Time cannot reverse
Where to Start?
You may

The Emotions Of Romeo And Juliet
The emotions of Romeo & Juliet,
always bold from the start;
Blessed to feel so deeply,
no matter the distress;
Make no mistake the heart does suffer;
Simply breathing is barely living,
to think some are okay with that;
Barely touched and I moan,
tortured but at least I burn;
Make no mistake writers do suffer;
Being a magnet pulled to a soul
understanding

The Star Crossed Lovers, Romeo and Juliet
Such deep, impassioned, love
startles our mortal ways.
Could we possibly have that

Flowing in our souls and blood,

Just another Romeo and Juliet love
Just another Romeo and Juliet love

Oh-oh-oh... Oh-oh-oh...
Just another Romeo and Juliet love
Just another love story that wouldn't die
Just another teenage drama saga
Just another sad, sad goodbye
Just another teenage heartbreak
Just another secret life
Just another forever love
Just another connection, forever soul ties
You had my heart with one glance
You had my love at every

Romeo and Juliet- An Altered Ending
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

Romeo and Juliet-Prologue Too
ROMEO AND JULIET – PROLOGUE TOO
The Montagues and Capulets never saw eye-to-eye.
A feud so deep, eventually, someone had to die.
At loggerheads for decades (no-one remembered the reason)
To fraternise together would be an act of treason.
They’ve traded insults every time they met upon the street,
Biting thumbs at each other, with neither conceding defeat.
But, in our play,

Oh, Romeo
"From forth the fatal loins of these two foes,
A pair of star cross'd lovers take their life,
Whose misadventur'd piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife."
— Prologue, Romeo and Juliet
As teens, they were told you’re too young
Time passed and they both were married
Another vowed they were among
Lovers who stole hearts once buried
Time passed and

Like Romeo and Juliet
Like Romeo and Juliet
By Michelle Morris
21/11/2021
Like Romeo and Juliet,
we were warned;
Our love was like a fire
and we'd get burned.
Completely forbidden
by our feuding families;
Sometimes in life
love is seen as the enemy.
You were my Romeo,
and I was your Juliet;
Didn't want that story to repeat,
so we ran away instead.
Settled on a hillside
in a village far away;
No more feuding

Romeo and Juliet
Oh, harken now, fair gentlefolk, I prithee lend an ear,
For I shall weave a tale of love that many hearts will hear.
The tale of Romeo and Juliet, of passion, pain, and strife,
Of families sworn against each other, bound by mortal life.
Young Romeo, with his heart so pure, didst see fair Juliet,
And in an instant knew

If Romeo and Juliet Had Survived
I was warned about you lazy Montagues
Some Romeo you turned out to be!
You’re so flabby you can’t see your own shoes
Where for art thou? Watching sports on TV!
Enough, Juliet, you’ve turned into your mother
With your nagging, complaining, and ceaseless spending
All you Capulet women just hover and smother
How I yearn for Shakespeare’s grand ending!

Romeo and Juliet
That my mind flies
On the wings of Pegasus
O behold thy gentle sweetness
That brings notes of sweet charity
If one should find the shadow of warmth
It lies in your brilliant presence
The eons of time should mark such liberty
As to find your delightful willingness
Must it be I for kindling thy warmth
And create in it a

Call Back the Curtain
Call back the curtain, containing our kiss,
capturing young heartbeats with all their might.
Crease open the page; no line can I miss.
Within eternity, I reminisce
of the mystery of scenes I recite.
Call back the curtain, containing our kiss,
scarlet like lips lit with starlight's fierce gliss.
Capture twinkling eyes in wooing moonlight.
Crease open the page; no line can I
