Nocturne in B Major

Star-cross'd lovers
would find a place
beneath the black
night of this melody.
The bass forewarns
of lesser happiness,
but violins comfort
in perfect chords
for they do not know
the fate of love.
Across the room,
eyes meet, and a
string is pulled tight
between two hearts.
Their masks cover
the troubled truth,
as this music
masks a tragedy
unknown to us.

Love quietly
until the last note fades,
never forgetting that fate
is not easily persuaded.
