O Romeo and Juliet

O Romeo and Juliet
Names of you
more than just your names
Like eternal love
in life's insipid veins
Like that greed
to be immortal
in thy lover's eyes
Like that insanity
Which never leaves
Even when love dies


O Romeo and Juliet
Stories of you
more than just words
Like gifts of wishes...
in the hollow cove of life
Divine as to be felt..
even for a tiny moment
A lifetime of treasure
that would be thine
Like psalms of faith
salvaging wavering minds


O Romeo and Juliet
Why were you two to be met
For naïve would have been love
And as explicable...
As rage, pleasure and regret
You made it felt....
like fire in a soul
like rage never known
like heart throbbing with ecstasy
like death's last moan..
