** "Did my heart love till now? forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night." - William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet ** Stolen are these eyes Taken from this life For thy brilliant beauty Hath engulfed me ‘Twixt eternal skies I’ve known no love No happiness thereof Though love not of beauty For beauty surely dies But the truest I’ve ever seen Lives forever in thine eyes Those past hath all been lost For thy beauty they hath not By-and-by I’ll dance no more Best it be with you, lest I be sure O, Thy hath my soul in a knot I speaketh now of things forgot How can I go forward whilst my heart is here? Emblazoned in thy lips the softest of my fear O that love be blind and so true it is Like Romeo’s two blushing pilgrims, I craveth thine kiss That whence I depart I’ll do so with a tear And in thy heart thou shall’t hold me near He speaks! He speaks! Dare I reply? My hands do shake for beauty is alive Doth he know my deepest visions? Visions that can shy the boldest of What says he, this blissful soul? He speaks not to I, he speaks to the whole O, bleedeth my insides that it shall surely burst The feelings I hath buried, ‘fraid of rejection’s curse For love love’s no one who’s desperate for love And in this damned life mine beauty shant be ‘nough Though you shall be the only, the last and my first That in these few seconds hath given me love and made me hurt.
