Nature’s visible and invisible, elements of love;
A Midsummer Night’s Dream generates a divided border.
At times, mortal’s hearts and minds need a shove;
All in peace, all in order.
Demonstrations of emotional states;
Paths of amour: First Sight/Dream Lover/Truelove.
In turn, rotates;
Detours of mayhem: Forbidden/Betrayal/Lost Love.
Customary marriage so far seizes;
Romeo and Juliet, love course mirrors nature’s seasons.
Contemporary love creates unease;
In search for harmony, impress life lessons.

By a forceful or natural flowing love stands;
Match making may require extra hands.

Nature of love maybe forbidden yet sweet;
As for Romeo and Juliet in all four seasons.
Wooing Spring, Kissing Summer allows the heart to beat;
Altering Autumn, Deadly Winter allows the heart to reason.
Human nature is with heart or mind;
Love and marriage go hand in hand.
Emotional and material, parts that bind;
Much Ado About Nothing, loves’ traditional and new stand.
A strategic game of love is played like chess.
Beatrice/Benedick are no turtledoves;
Claudio/Hero becomes quite a mess.
Cupid’s vision is for trueloves.

Social rule plays a part;
When Love wins the heart.

Matters of love and marriage, the highlight.
Claudio/Hero, amour in a fray;
Beatrice/Benedick, amour withstanding spite.
Ultimate truelove becomes array.
Two kindred accounts serve love’s torment;
Evil deeds labor overtime.
Relationships: Spark, Squabble, Settlement;
All in circle, All in time.
Othello/Desdemona, most contemporary love;
Outer General to Inner Slave.
Villainous corruption poisons truelove;
Tradition’s shadow thrusts to the grave.

With contriving plots love abates;
Comparable tales, separate fates.
