How Tender Were Those Eyes That Loved Truly

When Shakespeare wrote about
the young Verona's lovers
kissing in the glow of moonlight
to pursue forbidden desires, 
he brought to light a story 
that turned into tragedy!
  
How tender were those eyes that loved
truly and passionately kissed while
their warm arms eagerly embraced...
knowing that passion was so sublime! 

Juliet gave her last breath
to taste a sorrowful death...
while the sword pierced
her tender heart of child!

Like two starry-eyed children believing
in fairy tales that delighted, their innocence
never lost the desire to feel very intense  
by exploring a joy that was pure and fulfilling!

How tender were those eyes that loved 
truly and remained open 'till darkeness arrived;
they followed the glowing stars enthusiastically,
and mindless of all, they sealed their destiny!
