Bard of Avon, Playwright, Theatrical Approaches, and the Return of the Muse!

Well.. the Muse went on a break for quite some time! I do believe it's time to bring her back! Last time we saw her in a rather epic ending. So... I would like to sidetrack to a different story somewhat related to the Muse but of another instance. Between these couple of months, I have fallen in love with Shakespeare. Thus... I have been even MORE encouraged to write a play. I was already planning on doing that once in my lifetime. So here is a little preview of the play. I am contemplating the title of the play, so I won't spoil that quite yet. This little excerpt (which is subject to being edited at any given time), came to me as I was walking the streets of Weber. So I suggest, to anyone looking for enlightenment, to walk along Weber in hopes to be inspired by the Muse. This will be from the man's point of view as you might later begin to notice:

Unbeknowst to thee,
Cupid's arrow doth strike my bosom,
Compelling my heart, yet leaving me asunder, 
Still I wonder.... Art thou yonder?

Infatuation? So be it!
Love upon Impulse? BE IT SO!
But this feeling, I shan't let it go.

Indeed 'twas rocky a beginning,
Rougher a middle,
Pero quien dice que
Our inextricable web,
The product of that which we have wove-n
Needs't be untied?
To those I say: Thou web is but of materialistic fiber
To Us I say:
'Tis not mere fiber but rather bonds,
Not the capricious hearts of the ever-fleeting,
But those of the adamant, unweaving.

Al que no quiere taza, taza y media...
To the hopeless romantic, granteth thee matrimony..

*OH Right... I figured... what's a play without really romantic and thought provoking Spanish lines? So those will be randomly, yet provokingly placed. Maybe other languages.. Latin? Greek? You get the idea.
