The Ballad of the Man Who Loved a Black Widow

Weaving a web…

She weaved a web
With her golden hair
And there he lives now
With his Lonely Love
Until Death will do
Them Part.

While you read the poem, listen to the French chanson about how a Black Widow (Veuve Noire) loves her lover… until Death will do them part.

    I read first without the music and then again with it. I like it with the accompaniment. So few words can say so much if they are presented well and you have done a wonderful job with this one, Patrick.

    Fascinating piece. Sorry, short for words studying and surfing

    Not only is this piece of writing beautiful, but I found it to be deeply moving.

    Take Care,

    Dark and almost raunchy! Love it.

    The words are good but the accompanying audio on your site is superb

    I believe the music almost enhances the poem.. almost dark in a way, and certainly brings new meaning to ’til death do we part’…lol!
