One of my own poems ...

Un baiser sous le pont des soupirs

From 1600 till now,
the Ponte dei Sospiri
has inspired marvelous legends --
the one most people find inspirational
was used in a fine film of romance.
It's inspired many a sweet rendezvous
in a gondola at dying of day.

The bridge's white limestone walls
and pouting, dark barred windows
overshadow Venice’s Grand Canal.
The legend states that lovers
will be blessed with a love as strong
as the arching massif itself.
It’s said that one simple kiss
at twilight, when the bells toll,
will bind two lovers forever
in eternal, undying bliss.

The tale has burgeoned and spread
across the wide breadth of our world,
and many’s the happy couple
who’ve kissed with that bridge overhead.

If love is your ultimate goal,
perhaps you might want to explore
the gorgeous Old World charm of Venice,
with someone you’ve come to adore.
