Intrigues
Abandoned by love and business failures
Of Romeo and Juliet, of young lovers
As Shakespeare would have it rightly flavoured
A tragedy of sorts that long hovers
Outwardly seen and seemingly oblivious
Of what outcome on unpaved lanes
Isn’t it out in the open, and pretty obvious
Wrought with sorrow and lots of pain!
Cast a blind eye and sadden with laughter
Regretfully betrayed in a web of intrigues
Wild flashes and staccato bursts of gunfire
Enemies within hidden but well in league

So very sad.
ReplyDeleteSad....
ReplyDeleteBetray can sting and sadness it sure does bring. Just hope no kind of pain makes me pop a vein, that would hurt. So with sadness I'd rather flirt.
ReplyDeleteman...i lived betrayal early on in life and it is hard to recover from...but not impossible...sad but real...

Btw, i just saw Rome and Juliet Baleet at the Four Seasons Performing Arts with JC last saturday. It was beautifully done. Music, costume and choreography...
Sad but true comment on the effects of betrayal. Well done.
ReplyDeleteYou've got me wishing for just a little bit more.
