This poem is about love at
the Moulin Rouge.
Satine.
A beautiful woman,
a sparkling diamond.
Pale skin, crimson lips,
fiery hair.
The most desired woman,
in all of Paris.
Diamonds were her best
friend,
she sang the song every
night.
She sang to all the
lust-hungry men,
all the rich and well off
men.
Never falling in love,
never believing in love.
But one fateful night,
as she sang her song,
one man listened.
Christian.
A penniless poet,
looking for sanctuary in the
Bohemian world.
He wrote words, it was his
life.
he wrote words believing in
Truth…
Beauty…
Freedom…
and above all things…Love.
He saw the Sparkling
Diamond,
her beauty surpassing all.
Her voice enchanted the
room,
placing a trance over the
penniless poet.
He sang a song of love,
and the Sparkling Diamond
listened.
Moulin Rouge.
The pit of desire.
Zilder, the leader,
the keeper of the key.
Rich men,
hungry for what the place
had to offer.
Diamond Dogs,
lurking in corners,
waiting for new costumers,
waiting to give pleasure.
The main attraction
the Sparkling Diamond.
She was the best,
she was the one all came to
see.
Come to the Moulin Rouge,
No rules,
no limits,
no boundaries.
Desire and lust-
the rulers of the
underworld.
The Legend.
A courtesan and a penniless
poet.
Two unlikely people,
one mistake.
Love overruled.
Satine- Diamonds weren't
everything.
Christian- Satine, was
everything.
Love and passion raged
inside the two lovers,
nothing mattered, as long as
they loved one another.
The Duke,
Jealousy and greed was his
ally,
as was his money.
Some say that their love is
what destroyed them,
but he was the destroyer.
In the end,
the Sparkling Diamond was no
more,
the penniless poet- trapped
in grief.
A tragic story came to an
end,
but the love had only begun.
The penniless poet sat at
his typewriter,
Satine echoing in his head,
'Tell our story Christian…I
love you.'
Late in the night,
some can see Satine and
Christian dancing under the stars,
as some can hear the lovers
singing to each other…
Come what may…
I will love you…
Until my dying day.
