Young love, so sweet and naïve;
They claim to love with their hearts on a sleeve.
Romantic languages start ripping at seams -
Full of champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

A few years have passed without much event;
The couple once loved, now about to repent.
From whence romance came a new motive teems
Among champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

Seduction leads to manipulation;
Failed attempts at economic inflation.
All plausible emotion torn by the extremes
Of champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

There is denial of blame, betrayal and lies;
Wine bottles were thrown and now someone dies.
Deep in the night rides a nightmare of screams
From lost champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

Forgiveness is rushed as a number is dialed;
Two hands are clasped, and smiles run wild.
Together their tears run down in streams
They’re fleeing champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
The full title is "Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams: An 'American Dream' ", but of course that was far too long for deviantART. :/

I spent three days on this, writing about a stanza a day. I was trying to downplay the story with rhyme so that it was a more cliche, but I don't know if that worked so well. :(

I hope you enjoyed reading it. :)

Originally this poem was only 6 lines, 1 stanza long, but I guess my muse finally dropped by for a visit just in the nick of time. :P

Ah I know this feeling... You've captured it perfectly... Champagne Wishes and Caviar Dreams... I do not think I could have been so eloquent.
