Beautiful, simply beautiful. It flows so wonderfully, and makes a reader's heart pang along with the speaker's. I love the allusions to Shakespeare.

Thank you, for making my day with this wonderful piece.

Considering I read A Midsummer Nights Dream 2 years ago for school, and am reading Hamlet now, the Shakespearian references stick out more. I love the title...it just fits so perfectly with the image of it all. This poem reads like a tragic story. Her standing there after the performance in her beautiful gown. (I am guessing she played Titania?) After the show when the theatre is empty, her waiting for him because she loves him and he said he'd be there. Him standing there staring at her beauty terrified she might reject him. Him never showing, and her leaving heartbroken at his rejection. It's so sad. The imagery also makes me think a bit of the Phantom of the Opera. The opulence of the theatre...I really don't think I would want to stand all by myself on a large echoey stage waiting for someone I love to not show up.

This is just awesome. I wish I could be more specific, but it's just... awesome.

Oberon and Titania? The usage of Shakespeare characters is always nice to see! =) This is exactly how I would picture their relationship. It's nearly impossible to put something of that magnitude into words, but you've done it! Wonderfully so, I might add. ^_^

I like it. It felt very classical, very smooth. The mundane mingles with the extraordinary stage and with his strong emotions. I can appreciate your reference to Shakesphere and it makes it feel like more of an old love. I enjoyed the setting and his inner battle only to overcome it and be brought down by an outside force. Very good job.

love it

The curtain closes, and my god it was so beautiful.
