There were once two people,
A lovely woman and a man.
Not strangely they were in love,
Like the ocean and the sand.
Their families were in a fued,
Not unlike Juliet and Romeo.
So when they met it was secret,
In a flower patch they would stow.
At each week's ending they'd gather,
And plant new life in the ground.
The sound of working hands and hearts,
Were the only distant sounds.
When their love was unveiled,
And they were forced to separate,
They met once more at the garden,
Away from shouts and debate.
Looking in to each other's eyes,
They knew neither would go back.
They would find a way to stay here,
Among the roses and lilacs.
They knew all along,
They would never be saved.
They knew all along,
They were building their own grave.
Now they rest underground,
A tight knot of love they did weave.
That not even familial debate and difference,
Can ever hope to cleave.

An interesting critique on the "star-crossed lovers" theme. I like the images you used and the rhyme scheme worked well with the drama you created.
didja know that romeo & juliet wasnt original? it was based on the tale by ovid Pyramus & Thisbe- its in metamorpheses, you should read it. :)
o and i put a linkto your blog on my page too, if thats ok
Yea but Pyramus and Thisbeits or w/e would seriously screw up the rhyme scheme I got going on <____<
Damn I'm so clever...
