The poet's song - a poem by Chris Zachariou

A couple, bathed in candlelight, succumbs to the shadows of Toxic Love, leaving them broken and despondent.
Romantic Disillusion

My sweetest lover, daydreaming
in the shade of an old aspen tree—
a green world of wondrous madness.

She, the purple gateway to a citadel
of sin and I the Mississippi River
raging between the marble pillars.
