Lost Rhyme

A poet long lost to despair,
Still wanders the moonlighted air,
He hums her a rhyme,
Beyond death and time,
His verses still curl in her hair.

A dark gothic cartoon illustration of two clearly adult Victorian characters: a young adult woman sitting on a park bench, looking entranced and distant, while a young adult poet stands before her reading tragically from an open book. Victorian-era clothing, moody atmospheric setting, expressive faces, literary gothic style, fully clothed, no sexual content.
