In One Moment

She laughs.

The sun in her smile,
Stars in her eyes,
Linger a while,
Then return to the skies.

In one moment the sun disappeared
And the stars failed to grace the sky
In one moment only silence is heard
As they watched their only light die

Sun in her smile, stars in her eyes,
Blinded to their silent cries

Romeo and Juliet

When Romeo saw her across the floor
Was it love at first sight or another closed door
That forbade him through

When Juliet stood from the balcony
What made her fall, true love or gravity
Into a distant lullaby

When Romeo gently took her breath
Did he know he'd sung her into her death
Or blithely refused to believe it true

When Juliet whispered 'death do us part'
Didn't she know he already had her heart
He wasn't the first one to die

When Romeo saw her, pale as dead
He gave his soul to take her stead
It was no longer his to give

When Juliet saw her lover dead by knife
Who had all of her, except her life
And with him false will to live

Was there ever a tale of such woe
As of Juliet and her Romeo?
