"The experience of love is the recollection of Heaven." ~ Plato


Capulet disregards her opinions
Threats spill
To leave Juliet out in the open
Homeless.
Hungry.
Forever disowned.

If she refuses,
I swear to carry on the marriage
With her in hurdle.

Fiercely, directly, he shoots her heart with the words that
Leaves the young with no choice:
“I tell thee what: get thee to church o’ Thursday … do not answer me”


The author's comments:
