Ophelia Misunderstood
To feelย so alone, so misunderstood
With an infatuation for Love
Neverย fulfilled
The powerful men of herย world
Had not a clue
Having Hamlet himself
Wondering,
" To be or not to be.."
Forever believing
" Love is brief "......
---------------------------------
When her father's life
Snuffed, like the candle's flame
She wore black melancholy
And became
Erotomania's slave,
Being torn and tormented
This bi-polar basket case
Never relenting
Singing and taunting
In riddles and rhymes
Was never the same
------------------------------------
When the queen announced
Ophelia,
Had taken her own life
Found dangling amid the whispers
Of a willow tree's branch,
Sheย was,
" Incapable of her own distress "
Fallen from the willow
Drowned in the brook
After all,
She had to don
Her necklace of Rue
Her regrets,
So amazingly misunderstood
Absolutely
Nothing left
For her
To do
------------------------------------
At the funeral,
The Queen sprinkling flowers
Upon her grave,
" Sweets to the Sweet "
Was all
She could say....

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Polonius had a daughter
Ophelia was her name
She was innocent and beautiful
Not knowing of a deadly game
.
For her King, the mighty Hamlet
Professed his love for her
But her father did not believe him
Then this tragedy did occur
.
Hamlet slew Polonius
Breaking Ophelia's tender heart
She climbed atop a Willow tree
And from the World did she depart
.
Gertrude announced 'twas a suicide
But this writer has other thoughts
To me, sounds like aย murder
It's perpetrator ne'er been caught
Peace, Love, and Bards,
