Soulmates in Death

Death's cosmic cryptic child Edgar Allen Poe
Whose spirit danced and was drenched in woe
Words were his secular style shields 
Sugar skull sentences steam today in forever fields 

Virginia Clemm his beloved beauty wife 
A flowering fruition museum muse by his side
Alas, the silver scythe slid
With devouring disease, she succumbed to the soul pyramid
