Star crossed tragic lovers

Star crossed tragic lovers

If you look real hard up at all 

the beautiful 

shimmering stars out in the midnight skies 

far away from the city, the smoke and 

haze, away from all the man made lights 

some where out in the country side

where the only thing you will see is the 

beautiful Poetry in all of Gods

creations 

among all the beauty of the scenery 

where you will see about a billion

stars times ten or more out in

the Milky Way 

galaxy and other celestial entities and 

even the pearly gates of heaven and 

maybe even Saint Peter himself 

if you are very lucky, a place 

where our 

souls are from but even further beyond 

that is where all of time had first begun 

it is right there where you 

will find 

all of the star crossed tragic lovers like 

Romeo and Juliette still in love together 

in a death do you part kind of love but you 

will not if it is not a real true love just like 

theirs is just as they both only wanted 

in life like all of us are looking for, but can

only dream of  the kind of love 

that knows no end or any kind of

boundaries as in love like that 

of Mark Anthony

and Cleopatra or even like the West Side Story 

the love that will always 

transcend life 

and death to be forever ever lasting just 

like the tale of Tristan and Isolde who 

was pledge to marry the King but loved 

his nephew instead both died horrible 

deaths still in love with one another so if 

that is the kind of love you are looking 

for then you need to look up at the

stars up in the midnight skies

high above 

and maybe you just might be the lucky one 

and see a big bright shooting star falling 

across another galaxy far far away then

wish real hard and hopefully it will be 

one those star crossed lovers and they will 

hear your pleas then take pity and grant 

you the love we seek so you and me can 

find and be together like all of those lovers 

forever throughout all eternity at least that 

is the wish I just made on that shooting 

star what happens next? Well as in any 

and every once upon a time fairy tale 

happily ever after, we will just

need to wait 

and see when the next chapter is released. 

The end or is it?
