Replying to a comment on:
Dear Willy, from Romeo (Edit) (Free verse) by Sasha
" Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs;
Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears.
What is it else? "
-Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act I Scene I
Well, dear Willy, seems that you
Aimed to show what love could do.
Once I saw pure love, my gaze
Torched it like a log ablaze,
Tried to sigh its fumes of smoke,
Felt my throat curl up and choke
Sparked my eyes with all its fire,
Burned them blind with wild desire,
Then the sea of tears I'd cried
Almost drowned me in the tide.
Sickened by the things Iâd tried
I collapsed, passed out, and died.
