Heroine Bliss

A poem inspired by the famous couple from Pride and Prejudice, Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy. 

An unforeseen kiss

Dwindles between stars

Crossing each other at odds

Underestimating the power that

Love commands

Indifference and cowardice

Both lovers consumed 

Vanity forsaken and 

Prejudice mistaken 

Arrogance, selfishness, falsities 

Humble, selflessness, truths

The tables turn 

And spin 

And stop.

Heroine personified

Lizzy, dear, what a damsel in distress

You are

That a man like Darcy could 

Whisper through the walls held

Against him 

Words intricately threaded on the

Letters he wrote you,

A change of heart-- 

A softened mind--

A swift and vulgar uprising 

Of lover's potent tongue

The guilt and regret

Of a foolish vane girl

Gallops between thoughts and 

Miseries unseen 

Pride is weakened by 

A prejudice kiss

Which will seal the war of star 

Crossed lovers in classes preserved 

Universal expectations of 

A femme fatale, but 

Love drowns them 

Blissfully, into vows 

'Til death do them part 

The unexpected reality that

Blind love had conquered her,

Indefinitely in her sanity 

The implicit kiss had awakened

Any opposition of judgement lay
Upon Darcy like a vulgar king

On his throne 

The end was a beginning

When all pride and prejudice 

Had sunk in their veins to feel 

Dismantling his curtain of rubies

And breaking through her heart of steel
