Inspiration

Romeo was fortunes fool
But I bet he didn’t care,
For when he held his Juliet,
He found his fortune there.
Good fortune made a fool of him-
But for a fool, he sure was wise,
He followed true love, on a whim
And he wouldn’t compromise.
Such strength is an asset to the soul,
But Inspiration is the thing that makes us bold.
Inspiration is as sweet as the receiver-
Belief, only as strong as the believer.
So if you dare to believe, then do it with conviction…
For weakness, is the sorriest affliction.

    Melissa – I agree fullheartedly with you here…..safe means nothing when your spirit burns for somebody you love…sure means less when your heart questions endlessly…yes follow your heart with all your might…seemingly wrong can sometimes become right.

    Your energy put into your poem is an inspiration for others like myself to work harder on how we choose our words. “So if you dare to believe, then do it with conviction.” Powerful and intelligent! My soul feeds on stuff like this. Thank-you

    So often men will tell me be realistic, live by brain, not by heart. But after reading your few lines i realise that true artist can’t live by brain, as he will lost inspiration to create immages.

    Powerful truth! Love is one of the weirdest strangers in our rational world. People love to observe it from a side, but are often embarrassed to stand alongside of it.

    I enjoyed reading this poem. True love is most certainly something people should follow, and it’s sad that hardly any do.
