Romeo & Juliet (Fiction)

Scene 1 : A Coffee Shop

(Enters Juliet (unaware of Romeo's presence). She sees him, walks closer & whisper....)

Juliet:
O Jealous Boy! Still enwreathed with wall built on the prodigy of love & hate?
(Takes a seat in front of him, crosses her legs & continues....)
Sequestered thoughts respired, now testify to your reflection, be hushed or engraved!

Wretched I feel to discern only two impressions on sand; none afore or on either side,

Never the prejudice fell O Dear, blameth perceptions & your forsaken pride;

Look at the sunset, eyes perceive with rapture; but to it none prays,

For they prayeth the rising one, there are no fifty shades of grey!

Never heart & mind worked in unison, but played my strings to bring peace,

To your soul; Now down with white flag, tell, what these countless steps shalt mean?


Romeo:
For there's a reason I shalt not call you - my love; a sin I might commit!

You dwell in someone else's realm; spake no words but proposals you submitted;

Had understood, might surmised there no pride or hate reside,

Still adulate the proffer & that last goodbye kiss, exulted I am today to see your 'Million Dollar' Smile;

Empyrean! even for once been perceived with rapture as only wicked envisage the other part,

Chose what we desired, shalt leave it behind with gleeful feelings in our heart;

Why fabricate contrived structures? This is no Time where pious words connote,

Let's sail with the essence of blended Mocha & destiny on our chosen boats :)
