The p o r t a l to the PAST exists beyond an O L D gate,
in the city of the D E A D the beloved wait;
on her elaborate t o m b is an ancient date,
his LOVE so great that he built her a monument.
The entry is s e r p e n t i n e iron, quite ~ ORNATE ~,
and her tomb- HIS architectural excellence;
in time her l o v e r also took up residence,
it is WRITTEN ~ he was a man quite prominent.
My research found the s t o r y in a document,
the man built his wife a grand RESTING place mansion;
even after her young D E A T H he held his passion,
the man would come EACH day with flowers opulent.
Written- he became a recluse after her death,
On the ancient ornate door, I left baby's breath.
