A Love So Great
The portal to the past exists beyond an old gate,
in the city of the dead the beloved wait;
on an elaborate tomb is an ancient date,
a love so great a man built his love a monument.
The entry is serpentine iron and quite ornate,
and her tomb represents his architectural excellence;
in time he also takes up residence.
It is written that he was a man quite prominent.
as my research found the story in a document,
this man built his wife a grand resting place mansion;
for even after her young death he held his passion,
the man would come daily with flowers opulent.
It is written that he became a recluse after her death,
at the ornate door- I leave baby's breath.
