Title: Two hearts moulded into one
by Beth from East Yorkshire | in writing, poetry
His eyes mesmerised me first,
Crystal blue lagoons encrusted into his face.
The thrill of love rushed through every inch of my body,
It tingled and made me feel breathless.
I could have grabbed him then and there,
Felt our two hearts beating together.
But I didn't.
My hand brushed against his,
I turned scarlet and turned away.
My love for him raced through me,
My body screamed for me to grab it, for me to treasure it.
I could have clasped it into my hands,
And stroked his smooth skin.
But I didn't
You asked me to the cinema,
I said yes, excitement surged out of me like a rocket and exploded.
We walked through a park,
Everything urged me on.
The swans on the lake glided past us in twos,
The tree branches swept together lovingly trying to hold each other.
But I ignored the signs.
We sat on the bench silently,
A willow tree covered us like a veil.
I stared into your perfect sapphire eyes and turned to jelly,
My body fell into yours and we merged together.
Swallows flew around our heads and chirped a love song,
I could have kissed you then.
But I didn't have chance.
Your own lips pressed against mine softly,
He caringly kissed me with loving passion.
A rose bloomed in my heart,
A fierce red rose that pushed out all other thoughts and feeling apart from love.
We were connected forever in a single kiss,
I would have given my heart right then and I taken yours.
But I didn't.
We walked beneath the starry skies so many nights,
The blinding lights above whispering their thoughts to me.
You told me you loved me,
And I said the same.
And as the wind whistled past my ears carrying music and laughter,
We would embrace and kiss, I would have run away with you then.
But I couldn't.
We giggled together licking ice cream down the street,
The blazing summer sun sizzling against my skin.
We didn't pay attention to our surrounding,
Too absorbed in our own company to.
A red man told us to stop, but nothing came,
I could have told you to stop then.
But it happened too quickly.
You laid there in a pool of crimson blood,
Your perfect blue eyes faded and cold.
All I could hear was my screaming voice crying out to you,
But you couldn't hear me.
My hand stroked your soft soaked hair,
My tears cleaned your red face; I wanted to stay with you forever.
But it was impossible.
My heart was torn out by death itself,
His cunning face smirking at me.
I wailed and screamed for it to be a nightmare,
But I could feel the pain too strong crushing my body.
I trembled against your dead body,
I could have saved your life.
But I didn't.
But I can't live without you,
You own my heart, my soul and body.
Without your blue eyes or witty humour,
Your sensitive attitude and soft lips my life was worthless.
So now I'm with you,
Our hearts together again and together we can live for eternity.
Two hearts moulded into one.
Romeo and Juliet and their tragic tale with a modern twist.
