Anthony Mantegna Poems

Love is Bittersweet
It is the greatest thing in the world,
but is every man's downfall.
Love is the thing that starts wars,
...

Why do you ask why I love you?
You are the lovliest rose in heaven's garden, have been for a while.
The sweetest girl I've ever stumbled into,
I love you for you, and your eyes and your smile.
...

Have you seen my Siren's beauty?
It overwhelms me, kills me, destroys me.
Her eyes, so bright and fiery, melts my heart, and makes it burn.
She holds it's ashes in her joyous urn.
