Paris
True to legend, April's Paris glistened
romance, and wondering we roamed its streets,
you and I; we drank its wine, we listened as
passing traffic bustled with love, we breathed
hope in spring-green gardens. What circumstance
engendered, we watered and sunned with care.
New-lit eyes illuminated every chance
an undiscovered world; to seek and share and
map unfolding contours, and keep that world
young, became our enterprise. Exploring,
learning city secrets, we slowly unfurled
our sails and voyaged where hearts pulse a more
vital blood, and together we'll discover
everywhere the Paris of our love.
