A most famous story of forbidden love ending in a tragic outcome. If only families gave their blessing, the outcome would be different. It happens every day and all over the world.
At least you are safe Pat for you found your hubby.
Now, moonbeams are a stimulus to a great rendezvous .

Wowzy woo! Thank you kindly. You too. You are welcome Patricia Wedel.
Dreaming of 'romantic Rendezvous where passions play'.
Such beautiful, soft imagery... with a gentle warning against romanticising.
Unlike Juliet who saw through the rose tinted glasses and took control of her Sad Ending.
So bittersweet - a battle that can't be won, it seems, not through victory or defeat.
Lovely! I'll likely read this several more times.

The moon in June, neath which lover's tend to croon, is always nice to be accompanied with a midnight sip of wine to enhance the tune.

Funny ... this piece puts together a lot of concepts that have been inhabiting my mind lately. I am reminded of the Neko Case singing she wishes she were the moon.
Lucky moon; the silent third in every romance; who moves one with ease to the next kiss.

Such soft wonders of the moon, the stars and in your pondering, your imagination goes wild with romantic notions of love and Passion between Romeo and Juliette, but then turns dark as death takes over the romance that was…..beautifully crafted Pat
Best, B

Romeo and Juliet, those star-crossed lovers not even the "moody moon of June" could save.... I suspect that it was a combination of moon and wine that assisted you in writing this poem Patricia, along with being a romantic at heart of course.... "parting is such sweet sorrow" so they drank more wine.... ;0)

The lure of the moon and the spangle of a zillion stars. What a backdrop for romance. Loved the whole story of Romeo and Juliet, but you know I am partial to happy endings rather than tragedy. Beautiful, breathtaking poetry. Happy Sunday Pat. Love across the waves.

We have been Home to wait for the Plumber to make things work better. Having Cold Watermellon seems to be very refreshing. I trust your Boating adventures were lovely with an evening Breeze. Welcome Home. Hugs, Pat
A lovely moving piece of poetic writing and it makes me wonder if there is a stairway to heaven, it certainly is in your world you aptly depict.

Good morning dearest Pat,
Using Romeo and Juliet in your lovely poem was oh so clever...so romantic...
Loved the words you used. It made my mind wander into thinking... "The Curtain of Sapphire sawyer and the Drama began. Really loved, loved, Loved that line...
From your first sentence to your last I was moved...and, so I read your poem several times...
Only and adventure is another great line... Now rethinking your poem I loved all your lines..
Thank you for sharing this so I could read something so wonderful before pushing myself to get the housework done...seems never ending...

I am thinking of how sweet people say... "I love you to the Moon and back" mostly to their Kids. How can we Poets be afraid when Poems keep us feeling ready to Conquer the World... especially when we receive a few Reviews that seem like a Tonic with an Olive. My Angels seem to know when I am Sad and they shuffle the Cards and give me a Winning Hand at Midnight or soon thereafter. There are Poets like you on WC who have Doctorate Degrees in Kindness Unlimited. tenderly, Pat

Hope you sleep well..with divine dreams,
Lisa, getting ready for a dinner party at our house..
and Count Paris found them both, dead drunk...
which would have been better than dead dead.
"What's in a name, it's neither hand nor foot nor any other part belonging to a man...
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet..."
I cut my romantic teeth on Romeo and Juliet and will always have a crush on Olivia Hussey...
so in the end, what did you figure out as you pondered the Moon.
This is a perfect poem to start my day.
