Short Star Crossed Lovers Poems

A familiar tale so oft told
of one so shy .. the other bold
an affair that started in the rain
was love a consequence or pain?...

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...

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

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

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...

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....

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.

1: If love is a game we need a referee
2: How do I love thee? Let me count the ways!  Um…
3: I loved her to death but got off on a technicality
4: Star-crossed lovers occasionally get crossed up and can get rather cross about it too
5: She stole my heart and REFUSED to return it so now I'm a heartless person
6: So I begged her to please have a heart and she said, “I already got TWO you idiot!”...

Do you ever get that 
momentary lapse in time
When you can't get a past love 
off your mind
You're caught in the deep end 
sinking fast
Wanting to go forward but 
stuck in the past

I thought I saw mine last night 
on the street
The one with Le Cafe where we 
once used to meet
But like all star-crossed lovers 
caught up in despair
We tend to see some things 
that aren't really there....

Natural born poet,
like when star crossed lovers meet;
Serendipitous;
A fortune teller planned it,
the wrong place at the right time;

The Sun’s tears of rain 
as they find a perfect sky;
Chaotic canvas 
that settles to harmony 
but leaves the wildest of roots;

Crazy for a fall;
letting go when you’re upside down;
Roller coaster;
Bliss a natural born poet,
sour sadness can pen a book....

Take thine quill,
and with it write,
countless tales,
in black and white.

Tales of lost kids.
far from home,
feathered monsters,
dwarfs and gnomes.

Star-crossed lovers,
ill-gotten fate,
war torn kingdoms,
fuelled by hate.

So why then I,
quill firm in hand,
find my thoughts,
among the sand.

But truth be known,
the poets' lark,
does often sing,
when all is dark.

I looked at you with endearment
You looked at me like an adolescent 
Star crossed lovers talk with eyes 
Life is a beautiful disguise.

When you move I move too 
When you breathe it’s like glue 
Something past and present too 
We move as one under the sun 
Move as dancers, not two, it’s one 

This conversation that we have 
Because you are my other halve 

Nothing is broken when your near 
I wait for you to disappear 
But every time you reappear...

the secret princess
searching for her prince
in secret and in lies
there path entwine

heart and head fill with sorrow
with no hope for tomorrow
they search though the past
not knowing how long they can last

star crossed lovers looking for a sign
whether they can be together in time
young lost souls who searched for love
praying for it up above

death marked lovers
hidden under deep covers
 hidden truth they try to hide
keep it hidden and save there pride...
