Beautiful Tragedy

Like Romeo and Juliet it was a tragedy,

Forbidden love on this earth is like the four seasons,

We have the ability to feel it, but not stop it

She see’s him blended in the fragrant plum blossoms

She blend in alongside him with a mask, for a female scholar is unlawful

As they grew closer he is content with a sworn brother

The heat rises as her parents find out

Her mask is off and he is relieved 

But the tension is still present

If time froze alongside the trees, she will probably be happier

His heart becomes cold and distant for her well being

She gets locked up in a lonely chamber 

Tension thawed and bright colors sprouted on the frozen trees

But she is to be wedded to another

He passes in pain while watching the fog clear up

She beggs to see his tomb for it is all that’s left

Her attire is red but her heart is white

She follows him to the dirt and two butterflies fly out 

Unlike Romeo and Juliet, it was beautiful
