Thus With a Kiss I Die
March 21, 2015
Why, why can’t we just be like cellophane
Break down the walls and get on with the day
Intertwine and mingle just like the rain
Baby, please don’t tell me to hold on till May.
I’ll shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
I’ll greet father time with a pleasant grin
Hell, I’d fly a car all the way to Mars
Darling, loving you is a mortal sin.
Purity- a trick, a siren sleeping
The salt from the sea, stings all my senses
I drown in your eyes, I’m barely breathing.
Why did I take down all my defenses?
You mesmerize me, you devilish thing.
I live for you like a queen to her king.

As an assignment in my Advanced Placement Literature class, we were asked to write a Shakespearean sonnet. Always having a love for free verse poetry, I knew this task would challenge me. Thus I wrote this and let my love for Romeo and Juliet come out as well as my own personal experiences with romance. I hope people can see my literary influences as well as my own take upon those influences.
