Constance La France Poet Rhyme

'city of the Dead'

The portal to the past exists beyond an old gate,
          in the city of the dead the beloved wait;
   on her elaborate tomb is an ancient date,
              his love so great that he built her a monument.
The entry is serpentine iron, quite ~ ORNATE ~,
         and her tomb-   his architectural excellence;
   in time this man also took up residence,
               it is written ~ he was a man quite prominent.
My research found the story in a document,
          the man built his wife a grand resting place mansion;
    even after her young passing he held his passion,
              coming each day with flowers opulent.
and that he became a recluse  . . . .
