*a Shakespearean Act Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

*a Shakespearean Act

Rating: 3.6


What you are to me no one on earth
No one has loved they way I love
When I rose for the act to play
Your glowing face in the crowd
Down I move in the gown of Romeo
The Juliet is here in the crowd
A live act as I hold you in arms
What acts what poems what costume
The play is over as it is in real
Begun with end and the waltz
Many a tangos on the floor of life
Look I to thee with my arm extended
One last dance before you leave

Yes many dance in tango, so far many dances also the modern salsa in which we are now in the generation Y...life if a stage, we are the actors to portray the role of what we should be...soon in your journey the curtains will close leaving a remarkable place here on earth...with great applause and coffetties...10+++++

This reminds me of David Craig's One Last Dance so I quote that for you 'And I would give my heart Give you the world, risk losing everything I got I'd give it all to you Though I don't wanna stop I know it's the right thing to do.....yeah One last dance with you So hard to find the words to say But I can't see any other way' anjali-10

So re-writing Shakespeare is possible and, in this case, fine too. If Sadiqullah's inspiration was that one, I should read the full 'Romeo and Juliet' by Khan.

Shakespeare in a capsule...I like this, Sadi...Movement is mellifluous...language strong, yet smoothe....Solid crafting, indeed! F j R 2009
