Love Poem: Immortalized

Immortalized

I thought of my love tonight,

Hoping for a letter,

Or perhaps a word,

But of her I've seldom heard.

 

I thought of my love tonight,

And her veiled eyes;

Open thy curtain,

...There be Juliet,

Not Oedipus blind.

 

And where is Romeo?

Lying by your side?

No, he is dead,

and buried inside;

 

Inside of the man,

So unfairly weighed-

Of a lover, a loon,

Thou hast surely made.

 

But all is forgiven,

Should she not forsake

What Fortune and Fate,

have dreamed,

 

Shhhhh....

Should we wake?

 

A chance to unite,

If we this time be wise,

Love,

Unveil thy eyes,

And we will be,

Immortalized.
