ROMEO

Romeo, Romeo, where the hell art thou
I've been looking for oh, so long now

They say you have gone some where other
Across the stars, with someone other

I fear you have been with the one named
Rose, sweet smelling Rose, and I am to blame

This I dreamed in a dream, a dream so sad
For you thought I had another. Nay! Art thou mad

You must understand, I only look
I will look if I like, it was only one look I took

Now, Romeo you are somewhere other
I should have listened to my mother

But now I fear there will be no tomorrow
Our last night we did part in such sweet sorrow

So good night, good night, where ever thou art
Til' the morrow I shall hold thee in my heart

Call me, damn it

rumi says,Send a royal

rumi says, Send a royal message, issue a general invitation; how long, O master, shall the one be with you and the other alone? If you do not come tonight as yesterday and close my lips, I will make a hundered uproars, my soul, I will not lament alone.
