Beyond The Downfall Poem by Hanna Abideen

Many a times young Romeo Montague,
Petrarchan lover in the heart of audience
Chose poetry over Fighting words

O Romeo! Orchard garden might have said
'You are going to steal the jewel I used to stare'.
And he would not have listened.

Verona whispered verses of love
But turned out the downfall of Juliet Capulet
That hath hidden in the playlist of time

Petals of red roses fascinated the lover
Love, love and love..
Not roses but thorns gifted by the death!

That was hard to part the young beloved lady
He longed for her warm lips and swallowed poison
Wasn't worse poison to reach heaven with her.

Leaves of evergreen frantoio olive trees
Witnessed she plunging the dagger to her breast
Loyalty rose closely to the prince of love!
