romeo and lily

in a hurry,he ran off the baker street..

there awaited him,his beloved..

juliet in green satin,his pretty muse..

he had eyes just for her..

nobody in the world but her..

and then he remembered..

he had bought no present..

running,he snatched 2 roses that the baker street begger girl sold..

who yelled something about 2 dollars a rose..

"you've stolen them from a garden,filthy thief",he yelled and ran..

and ran to his juliet..

swaying her in his arms,smothering her with love..

and Lliy saw them;tears in eyes;smile on face..

Lily..

born in a midcity slum..

never saw her mother..

never knew her father..

bred in an aura of hatred,neglect,dislike,fear..

but she always hoped..

hoped to love..

hoped to be loved..

hoped to see love some day..

hoped..

'till she cried to sleep,hungry..

growing up,she saw men begging for money..

they never slept hungry..

so she begged..

but she hoped of dignity too..

so she sold roses..

at the baker street..

everyday..

which nobody bought..

she had to sleep crying,hungry..

so the gardener never gave her more than 2 to sell..

coz nobody bought..

but she was happy today..

valentine's day..

she wouldnt sleep hungry,she knew..

so she stood happily at the baker street..

waiting..

but then came a man..

running..

snatched her roses,and yelled something about 'thief'..

she cried..

she'd sleep hungry again..

but then she saw him running to a woman..

he called her juliet..

swaying her in his arms,smothering her with love..

and Lily saw them;tears in eyes;smile on face..

for she'd seen love,her hope lived..

she blessed the couple and went away..

she wouldnt sleep hungry,she ate love..

and they call Romeo the eternal lover..
