This tale is of love that started on different Christmas day
Of two star crossed lovers who chose their own way !
Though it wasn’t planned, but I guess it was fate,
That each fell in love with the person whom they were supposed to hate !
Their families were at war, it was an enmity well-known
Yet a random evening changed this equation, seeds of love were sown !
And it blossomed day and night
Love made life different – wasn’t the usual fight !
Families were forgotten – only one name was always on the mind
The lovers thus chose to leave their old lives behind !
They got married secretly, a victory too sweet
Unknown to them though, was a different destiny that they will meet !
Families separated them, much drama followed,
Life for the lovers now seemed hollowed !
Not united in life ….one chose death
Knowing one was no more.. the other too gave up his breath !
Thus ended a tale of two star crossed lovers who united after life
Love was their folly, such was their strife !
Their names are unknown but a playwright gave each a new name
And through his writing their love lived.. rising to a new fame !
A tragedy renown to the world replicated in stories again and again,
For every tale told – brought with it the same sadness, the same pain !
For never was a story more woe..
Then this of Juliet and her Romeo !
