Notes About The Poem

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.
