A Touch of Shakespeare



Tormented by hatred, mended with love
of thou art a beautiful princess
The most amazing I have set eyes upon
Mount ye horse se llama angel
Fly swiftly without wings
It seems so distant yet in reach of thy dream
So many tragedies preceded us
Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Hamlet and Othello
Time to put asunder those characters
My fairies lady might I greet ye with a rainbow
What wierd occurrences goes beyond the night?
A council of vipers filled with envy
Our chemistry they grieve we must unite
May I face my accusers if love is a crime
Then arrest my heart and hold captive
my mind O beauty has made its presence
A touch of shakespeare is a reminiscent lesson
