A Paris Dream

 

Following the river

Ambling

Wandering

Shrouded in mist

They have no place to go

No schedule to meet

Just strolling

Hand in hand

Lost in the moment

Paris on the left

Paris on the right

 

I had a dream

He said

I had a dream

She said

And here we are

He said

Here we are

She said

 

The morning flows as the river

Slowly

Deliciously

And they savor moments

One at a time

Each tasting sweet

Like madeleines

Or macaroons

French roast coffee

Pure delight

 

That afternoon

In bed

The river

And time

Flow

Slowly

Meandering

As kiss follows kiss follows kiss

His lips finding each curve

Each sweet spot

Her lips tracing lines

From shoulder to belly

Belly to hip

 

There is no hurry

No rush

Even as afternoon becomes evening

And he stands to light candles

Opens wine

Hands her a glass

And speaks softly of time

The river

And years to come

Then she smiles

Touches her glass to his

And speaks softly of time

The river

And abiding love
