Shakespeare in Love won the Academy Award in 1998 for best picture.It most likely didn't deserve to win. Yet, it has a certain chemistry if you are willing to just follow the story without tearing it apart for inaccuracies or other issues. I rather enjoy it as a movie. There are enough what if’s to keep me interested.
A few years later I was watching the movie when this poem popped into my brain and fell out pretty much fully formed. It really is nice when that happens! I liked it so much I put in a picture frame and kept it on the wall of my condo until I moved.
True Love Can Never Be Undone
In Shakespeare's verse there does remain
A romantic spirit of soft refrain
Where two hearts gather free and strong
Possessed of spirit, captured in song
To blend and join and meet as one
With fire so strong it blinds the sun
Yet soft it is as lambs summer wool
The cup runneth over, it is never full
One sound, one word, one simple glance
All can see the truth of romance
In evening skies where Venus does reign
On summer morns where sunflowers gain
Two hearts joined as one
True love can never be undone
