She was his inner being
he was in a secret confession
with his own heart
every time, he wrote a poem
she was the painting within each page
woven with silk into ink
the fire in his heart, burned fiercely
for her love
love, that in the end was never to be
she was his soul
his thoughts
his smell
and the air he breathed
she was his spark
and indeed he was hers
an unbreakable bond
between Romeo and Juliet
that only time could understand
two souls
gifted to the world by William
and within every word
of each new poet's lines written
they are in fact, still together
and very much alive...
at least, that's what I would like to believe
because the work of a true poet
is never really finished.

Tremendous. Superb use of language. You are such a romantic.
oh I am am I? 🤣 I am in my poems I just love love love, love and I would go to the ends of the earth to have one moment of romance any day of the week. Thank you for noticing me dear Thomas. Today I'm sending you a... ❤️
Romance is dead the front page read .. A million women cried .. They lay him in his favourite shawl, his poems remain alive .. You have such a way with the tools of our trade Teddy bravo ma'am ..

Thank you my dear Neville, most gracious tools that we all hold and use. 🌹
You truly are the romantic Teddy. A wonderful write. Romeo and Juliet, the fated lovers, gifted to us by Shakespeare. And hundreds of years later, they are still very much “with us”. Great poetry. A Sunday special. 🌹
Awe, I'm truly humbled you have found this, I do love to mix it up in the romantic nonsense lol dear Cassie58 🌹 thank you so much for your very kind words. 🌹
Many a man scoffs at the thought of being a romantic. But love for one woman can be his biggest weakness, while also his greatest strength.
And the door can swing both ways on that, yes? Long live Romeo & Juliet! 🌹
Anyone can spend a life time loving someone A.P and no nothing wrong with that. 🌹
Yes Teddy, but those who do have the ultimate gift. 🌹
Wonderful love in words Teddy and those last two lines are so true.

Thank you so much dear Andy. 🌹
You always manage to get 'em in with your romance, Teddy.
I'm contemplating a write about the Shakespeare dished up to me at school, which wasn't R & J or Much ado, but Hamlet, Macbeth and "my kingdom for a horse". All blood and guts. Preparation, not for love, but war!
I never got that priveliage of studying much of anything at school I went to one that was filled with bullies, they are just scribbles mostly depending on my mood dear Dave, but your kind words do warm my heart, if only I could read something romantic from you, it would truly mean a lot. Thank you. 🌹
OK, Teddy - you did ask. My take on love and romance:

I hope, if you don't necessarily like it, you can at least appreciate where I'm coming from.
Take care and look after yourself.
beautifully written Teddy
and very touching.
even my goosbumps loved it!
My dear Melvin lol you are so sweet and as always very kind, say hello to those goosebumps please, I've missed them. 🌹
Funny how a person can write something so iconic that after centuries it remains an archetype across the world. The power of the written word and the human mind is amazing. Your poem catches this spirit. I loved your line " she was the painting within each page
woven with silk into ink" Thanks so much for renewing the bard's memory.
The Bard and I thank you with all our heart 💜
