Shakespeare, King of Love

Long ago a poet there was.
one who wrote to tell of love and tragedy.
A man praised for his wit
One who gave voice to the aching heart.

I, like he, wonder at this thing
called love.

Truly, it is a notion-
something we ponder
but never truly experience.

My words fail me as I knew they would.
As has the dynasties of towers.
They rose and fell
A time too many.

Yet still we ponder love.
