The Sorrow of Love

Crying, weeping, with our eyes full of tears.
I cannot go near my beloved, for i may be what she fears. 
I have brought my sword down upon one of her family.
I feel like I have been locked inside a room, with no way to get out, no key.
The act of justice turns into one of injustice,
And I fear I have lost the one thing I will truly miss. 
Her love will no longer envelope me.
Her arms will no longer hold me.
Her eyes will be so full of hate.
And there's nothing I can do about it, because its too late.
Juliet, my love, here, I lie shedding tears for what I have done.
What I would do to have another chance, just one.
So please, come back with open arms and gaze me with those sweet eyes.
And please let out no more tears, and no more cries.

Gone

(Juliet's last thoughts about the dead Tybalt after what Nurse tells her about his death and Romeo's banishment)

You're gone, You're no more. 

And yet, you're not the one I weep for.

As much as I still love you.

I must weep for another man too.

Right now, I see your lifeless body lying in your grave,

But it's still him I wish I could save.

Now you're out of my life, and long gone.

So now, for the first time, I feel free this dawn. 

My heart craves for him more than you.

But don't worry, I love you too.

You just never wanted me for the right things

So now take what, for you, death brings.

Go away now. And stay gone.

And see what hate you have brought upon.

A Dead Man's Last


(Mercutio's Last Words)

Star, Star that shines so bright
Please give me strength to get up and fight
Slowly and slowly my life is fading
So send my regards to my family and anyone regretting
Even now, I have much determination,
And to back that up, I have some inspiration
So will anyone remember when I have past?
Will my legacy even last?
I let go, I start dying,
And thank myself for at least trying.

The Sonnet of Love!


A sonnet that Romeo creates for Juliet shortly after their blissful wedding.

The skies that shine so bright are nothing,
Compared to the way that you shine right now,
And on your minuscule hand is my ring,
This will work between us, I just don't know how.


From today on, we will be together. 
Married and joined in each other's arms,
So choose your fate, love. It's now or never.
And I'll make sure that, toward you, come no harms.


Today is the day that everything changes.
From admiration to inspiration,
My love for you contains many ranges.
But I'll always live with adoration.


So give me your love and no regrets.
This will work between us so place your bets.

Nursing thoughts


(Juliet is thinking to herself after sending the Nurse to talk to Romeo)


              Where is the Nurse, I sent her more than three hours ago? She was supposed to be home thirty minutes after, not three hours. What if she isn't coming home? What if a truck rammed into her and she died? Knowing her and her body, I doubt she could have gotten out of the way. What if she's lying there on the street without anyone to help her? What is she's already dead!? My GOD! I shouldn't have sent her at all. Or worse, what if she heard bad news from Romeo? What if she's out wondering how to tell me? What about if she's commited suicide because she doesn't want to be the bearer of sad news?! OH MY GOSH!!! Ok, calm down, Juliet. Think carefully and safely. Maybe she just can't find him. Maybe she just needed to do something else. But what more important than doing the work of her mistresses? Oh I wish she would just COME HOME ALREADY!!!! What would Romeo say if she doesn't go on time? What if he thinks I am worthless? Why wouldn't he? It's hard enough trying to see the enemy's daughter, why would he want to marry me? GEE! I'm going CRAZY with worry already. I wish the Nurse would just COME HOME and tell me what my love says. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Cross your fingers and think positive, Juliet. Remember, Positive!

A LeRagetter (Rage in a Letter)

The letter written to Romeo by Tybalt....

To the heir of the other house, Romeo Montague:

          How dare you? Show up at OUR party the other day? I'd just like you to know that I can kill you in less than a second. They call me a being worse than the Prince of Cats. I know that you are dumb and therefore don't know who that is so let me dumb it down for you a little. The Prince of Cats is from Medieval folklore who's name is the same as mine. Remember, the Capulet house IS the greater house. And if you even dare to look at anyone, ESPECIALLY JULIET, don't think I'll hesitate to kill you. One slice of my sword and you'll be dead. Did you think I didn't see the way you looked at her. Uncle seems to think that your well-mannered and have done nothing disgraceful and were an honorable guest last night, but I know better. You shouldn't have come last night. I have decided to challenge you, fencing. Be prepared to lose, Montague.

                                                                                                               You have no hope,

                                                                                                               Tybalt Capulet

Youthful Love


(Friar Lawrence's point of view on Romeo's claims of love)

Friar Lawrence: "The youth has been spoiled and is getting worse as the years go by. A clear example would be the sole heir of the Montague family, Romeo Montague. He claims to have been in love with Rosaline, he shed tears when she refused him, and he was beyond sorrow, or was close to it just yesterday. Now, he claims to be in love with Juliet Capulet. A man, simply CANNOT change his mind on who he loves that quickly unless his love wasn't true. He cried in the morning and by night, he simply changed his mind about Rosaline and wanted to be with Juliet instead. This proves what I had originally said about how the youth merely love with their eyes and not their heart. And what else surprises me is that Romeo dares to say he moves on that quickly because the love he is giving is not reciprocated. And even MORE surprising, he falls in love with the sole heir of the Capulet family. Jesu! The two are arch rivals, no wonder he wants to marry her in secret. Although I agreed, because I thought it would bring peace between the two families, I still don't understand how the two foolish lovers are willing to make a lifetime commitment when they just met last night and haven't spent more than one night."

Flying with my Falcon


(What happens after the scene ends)

Nurse: "Dear child! Where in the world have you been?"
Juliet: "Nowhere of importance of sharing, Nurse. What, pray tell, have you been calling for?"
Nurse: "It is past the time you should rest. Am I going to have to use curfews again?"
Juliet: "No, that's childish. I'm fine, and I'll sleep, just let me remove these thick, extravagant clothes"
Nurse: "Surely, my dear."
(Nurse and Juliet work together to remove the dress. Juliet writes in her diary a poem before going to bed.)

Dear Diary,
          Normally, I'd be writing to my diary, but in this happy occasion I shall write a poem for the man I love.


My heart bleeds with love,
You are my falcon, You are my dove.
Tonight has been the best day I have known,
Practically jumping with joy, all my emotions clearly shown.
Don't know what it is about you that draws me,
But when I'm near you, I feel like, for the first time, I'm free.
You are the son of the man I am supposed to hate,
But I guess right now, it's too late
I can't wait till the clock strikes 9,
For then, Our lives, together will twine.

Fuming my Fumes!

(An after-scene commentary by Romeo)

How DARE THEY!? Mocking Rosaline like that?! If it had been the fair Juliet they were mocking, I would have surely had their hides. Then again, they do not know about Juliet, so they most probably wouldn't. After all, they were right when Mercutio and Benvolio said that I merely lusted after Rosaline. The true woman who holds my heart happens to be Juliet. Oh, how fair Juliet is. In fact, I can already compose a poem for her.

(clears throat and starts reciting a poem off the top of his head)

A feather is no lighter than you,

and the sun no brighter. 

The stars shine, 

For you I have built a shrine.

You reside in my heart,

We are together even though we must be apart.

The dance we shared,

The beautiful name you spared.

The two kisses we cherished,

This is the one experience I missed.

My heart recognized you as its mate,

I hope you give me your heart before it's too late.
