To find out the answer I fear...

Upon finishing King Lear
I sometimes wonder who was there
the day Shakespeare finished writing King Lear.
Was he at home with his Annie?
Or was he drunk off his fanny
in the Tabard Inn, stroking the dark lady's hair?

I Am Cordelia
I am Cordelia in King Lear
My love to you cannot be expressed
With meaningless words the man created.
I know you will never ask me
Or ever wanted to know
Because my deeds surely tells you
All the words you want to hear...

Nothing out of nothing
William Shakespeare
A king of true tragedy
No unconditional love.
No never and nothing

Dead to Heaven above.

Please Mr Shakespeare
What would William Shakespeare have to say of Trump's actions in this tragedy
play? Would he liken Trump to King Lear, consumed by vanity, loyalty and fear? Is Trump yet another Sir John Falstaff, a great buffoon, good for a laugh? "Double, Double toil and trouble", will the unseating of Trump leave this nation in a rubble? Please Mr. Shakespeare help us quell these uncertain times, oh pray do tell?...

When Friends Or Family Disagree
You will find
that, while speaking your mind,
you won’t lose TRUE friends if you are kind.
Can’t you see
that when we disagree,
your anger hurts but does not change me?
Tell your truth
without being uncouth.
Don’t be sharper than a serpent’s tooth.*

Apple Cider Vinegar
Life could be a dream ;for the ones who won't care.
Every moment,every minute,feels fortunate to be there.
Any trade from his aspect in life,won't be fair,
Living like the end;is near
Even if he's surrounded by all
Portraying the daughter of King Lear.
The vision of life ain't linear
Living like Apple Cider Vinegar
Seems like every gun has pressed its trigger
But, No! Never,he seemed to driven by despair
From the people he spent his life in havoc to care...

We Are In Love
'O, reason not the need! Our basest beggars
Are in the the poorest thing superfluous.
Allow not nature more than Nature needs,
Man's life is cheap as beast's!'
~ King Lear, Act 2, Scene 4
The truth is simple
We are in love
What need we
creamsicle sunrises
or pink turtledoves
Our hearts beat as one
As each day is run
Wherefore wish for
magenta sunsets
or gossamer nets
Love's in our thoughts
~ Our needs are naught...
