Extra Scene I wrote for Cyrano De Bergerac (poetry) (let me know what you think)
At the rising of the curtains Cyrano is lying on the ground under the tree, believed to be dead. Roxane is alone sitting on his chair sobbing.
The leaves are still busy falling.
Scene 6.VI.
Cyrano and Roxane. Then De Guiche, the sisters, and Le Bret.
ROXANE (Through sobs)
My heart is as blue as the sky. My love, my love, I mourn not for the first time, but for a second, although the first time I knew not it was you. Cupid’s arrow has struck my heart for you, and has split it into pieces that could not ever be mended by anyone. ( She gets off the chair and sits by him. She wraps her hands around him, and sobs all the more. She begins to whisper): I swear I shall never love another, for tis impossible. I cannot bear the thought to live without you.
(Cyrano slowly has begun to gain consciousness, and hearing her professions of love and feeling her arms around him has decided to listen for once to what he has waited for and wanted for years and years. His joy was overflowing due to how much she loved him. He was so happy that it was dark enough that she could not see his smile which was growing bigger than the sunrise in the morning.)
I promised that I would mourn Christian too, yet tis you alone whom I will miss and love forevermore. I miss you and your words of poetry and love combined. How could I ever have been so blind, as not to know it was you.
(Cyrano touched by her words and weeping cannot bear it any longer and slowly opened his eyes.)
CYRANO (In whispers)
My love, my love, mourn not for I am with you still. Your words of love have poured new life to me, I could not simply let death be. Unlike the leaves that fall to ground bravely in order to die, due to you and only you, I now will arise and fight. Anything for you my dear, you ask it and I let be. Your love so bright burns like a fire, and has rekindled me.
ROXANE (surprised and crying with tears of joy)
Cyrano! My love for you is bigger than mountains high, and valleys low. The joy you bring me tis so grand that without you I am morbid. (Beginning to rise): A doctor I must now call, for the thought of losing you I cannot bear. I shall be back shortly.
CYRANO (grabbing her by the arm)
Leave me not yet, someone approaches, my love.
(De Guiche appears on the steps acting as if he is sad.)
DE GUICHE (Shocked at seeing Cyrano still alive, speaks through clenched teeth)
Cyrano…… you are alive…..
(The sisters at hearing De Guiche begin to run outside...
