RomeoandJulietteoftheNineties

Passions that are hidden
for now eyes to see
lips touch softly ever so quietly.
The embracement of bodies
for just a moment's touch
a loved shared that means so much.
Two souls united in a special bond,
just to be one.
Shakespeare had written of their boundaries,
a Romeo and Juliette of the Nineties.
Waiting for time to share their hearts,
to publicly open what is locked.
Young dreamers they meet,
ever so free,
the love they have in reality.
So many around them can't understand
the beauty between this woman and man.
Their love is so strong it shines right
through any darkened room.
So as the old story goes;
Even in death they'll never part.
