When bright
Montague loves fair Capulet
their terrible path was paved wrong.
What
did Romeo think to do
When
Juliet slept so still?
He
doesn’t stop to find their priest
Who
might have spared his pain.
That
fair maiden lays in sleep
Waiting
for her love to wake
Breathing
deep and slow might be
Longing
to embrace.
What
did Romeo think to do
When
Juliet slept so still?
He
tore his shirt and found his blade
Cursing
his skin to hell.
If
he had but waited a moment more
To
find love’s eyes still bright
He
would have found a beating heart
Renewed
with purpose and delight.
Does
Romeo love his Juliet
Like
Adam loved his Eve?
A
garden delight they lived in well
Until
the serpent played his dice.
Adam
was missing when Eve did make
Terrible
plans that designed her thought
Cursing
the ground on which she stood
And in one swift stroke caught all hell.
What
did Adam think to do
When
Eve slipped so far?
He
didn’t stop to find their Priest
Who
might have spared his pain.
That
fair maiden lays in sleep
Waiting
for her love to protect
Breathing
quick and scared alone
Longing
to be embraced.
What
did Adam think to do
When
Eve slipped so far?
He
tore the grass to bind its blades
Covering his regret and shame.
If
he had but waited a moment more
Instead
of grabbing forbidden fruit
He
might have protected his fair wife
And not blamed God for her breath,
Beseeching instead for Him to renew.
What
might Adam think to say
When
Romeo loved Juliet?
He
might have said to "Stay thy hand,
Find
the priest who cares for you."
