A Sugar Skull Love (A Poem in Story)

By Jo Ann Gray and Jo Anna

A Sugar Skull Love (A Poem in Story) is a gothic, epic poem set in the heart of New Orleans, the French Quarter, during the Day of the Dead parade...

Told in lyrical, poetic, flowing verses...

It follows the tragic love story of Julia... And Henry...

Amid the swirling masks, roses, and music of the French Quarter, the two are bound together by a vow so fierce it defies even death itself...

As their love burns brighter than the candles on the altars, it also curses them to walk beyond the veil, caught between life and the grave. The poem paints New Orleans as both stage and witness... its jazz, rain-soaked streets, and ancient cemeteries echo with the couple's eternal dance...

With imagery of roses bleeding, blue flames burning, and ghosts whispering in the night...

The story becomes not only a tale of devotion but a warning... Love can outlast death, but it demands everything in return...

Haunting, romantic, and steeped in such gothic beauty, this poem reads like a Legend carved into the bones of the city itself...

A sugar-skull love... A love that haunts...

Plus much more... Poetry at its darkest...
