I then knew without a doubt:
Eyes looking at me.
Suddenly feel uneasy
As our star-crossed gazes meet.

Star-crossed by the years
 a cuckhold of fate ...
I made love to you
in the copulate verses
of another time
— and another life

Premium Member On the Edge of a Dream

He was once the sun of her sky
And she, a star from a universe he esteemed
But their star crossed love went awry
Eclipsed by the traverse of moonbeams
A dark moon rising, on the edge of a dream

Something For Emmett

Tears embedded
  three ring delight
Star-crossed harlequins 
pigmented fright
Echoes of laughter
masking false smiles
Greasepainted fantasy
—clowns in denial

(The New Room: July, 2022)

We Married In Secret

One by one,
They push
This dagger
Through their souls

Montague and Capulet
Star-crossed lovers

So deeply in love
We cross the stars

Claim that
Love is just 
A test

We married
In secret

Premium Member Capt Smith's Immortal Words As The Titanic Sank Without A Trace

She was posh and built at enormous cost

   Alas, She was fated to be star-crossed

      Plunged to Her eternal grave

         Capt Smith gave a final wave

            And shouted, "Cheer up folks! All hope is lost!"

Final Message

Death courting life…
inextricably entwined

Most star crossed of lovers
their hatred of time

Death courting life…
new beginning at the end

Last promise to make
—final message to send

Lover's Moon

The night was of crystal clarity
No clouds obscured the stars
A new moon graced the sky
And the lover’s moon was ours

A shooting star crossed the sky 
And we both made a wish
Then I held you in embrace
And we shared our first kiss

Star Crossed Lovers

the
bitter
feud
between
the 
Montagues 
and 
the 
Capulets
thus
forged
between

behold
Romeo and Juliet
indeed
both
star crossed lovers
at best
until
their 
untimely
death
whispered
to
them
both
a 
quiet death

Premium Member Wuthering Heights

Star crossed lovers strolled together
over moorland fields of heather...
Tragedy unfolds


Emily Bronte wrote thereof...
She, too, lost chance to find true love...
Death, again, grabs hold

Opposite Ends

The family feud
Between The Montague and
The Capulet, 
On opposite ends
Attracting a love
Between night and day
Star-crossed lovers met
This Romeo and sweet Juliet
Facing their fate
This poison of death
What bitter drink
To die a thirsty death
Secret lovers must end

The Sunset,Star's and Moon

A sunset, star and moon
set at the same time 

It's noon yet I'm waiting for the moonlight to come out 
, just in case it missed me

Then a star crossed the nights sky , lightning up the nights skies

I await for another sunset for tommorow will bring a sunset, star's and moon

Premium Member Star-Crossed Cruise

Cruise ship
Leaves slip

Line rails
Cocktails

Strong breeze
Rough seas

Swigs booze
Bad news

Oh me
Queasy

Boat drill
Felt ill

Grub great
Gained weight

Oh shucks
Tight tux

Played slots
Lost lots

Met Moll
Some doll!

Let's dance?
Perchance?

Git lost!
Star-crossed!

Cruise done
No fun

Only In Their Dreams

A single melody plays on and on
 A couple dancing all night long
 Stolen kisses under the light of the pale moon
 The beginning of a love that was doomed
Star crossed souls searching to find
The soul mate they left back in another time
But fate has a way of turning things
And the love they once had now lives only in their dreams

Premium Member Porcupine and Porpoise

Porcupine fell in love with Porpoise today.
Protective quills ready at the stay.
Porpoise dove down with his blunt snout.
Porcupine smiled; in love with the lout.

It can never be actualized Porcupine said.
But I will love you totally until the day I am dead.
Porpoise said, “I feel exactly the same about you. “
They were star crossed lovers, these magnificent two.

star-crossed lovers

We’re destined to love and fated to seethe.
But our stars don’t align
Were you somebody who just meant to leave?
If walking away was the correct choice to find a delight
Was I ever part of your everyday thinking?
If not, I should’ve kept things right
I miss your morning kisses running on my cheeks
I miss our evening catfights…
This time, I just sigh and wreathe.

Premium Member Traveling the Cosmos

Traveling cosmos in a star-crossed house at rest
She watched for dreams, catching only the best.
How the house was motorized is anyone’s guess
She traveled around the stars, our friend Ma Cress.

Mystically she was in tune with another world.
Her hopes and dreams were not unfurled.
But we were in awe of Ma Cress for sure.
Her dream state was decidedly totally pure.

L'Appel Du Vide

On the ledge of her eyelash,
Waterfalls crash on unspoken sins,
Souls floating down Athena's bridge
Embedded in obsessive skin

I grin
She frowns,
I frown,
She grins

I'm bound to
             tame
             Lilith,
Is bedlam supposed to break Our will?

I'm bound to
the call of the Void
Kronos’s chaos, Ursula’s uproar;
the way that Hermione heals
