Romeo & Juliet

Alas my love,
in true word spoken
how
I yearn for thee,
your scarlet lips
upon mine place
your hand
upon my heart-
it beats with an
incessant
boom,
attuned to thee
it feels
my love with raven
locks-
dishevelled as you may
to run my fingers
through
those locks
against your breast
I lean-
alas my love
forbidden are thee,
I declare, I vow to fight
for you within
this life- and through
all obstacles
beside me
you will one day
stand
as sure as air-
I breathe
