Rain drips icicily on Paris's April quay <br />As blossoms of cherry stir the misty air <br />The left bank ponders over cafe' au lait <br />While the whiff of tobacco releases the day's care <br /> <br />The Romantic, with the lonely, shares the night <br />In the distance the Tower of Eiffel stands tall <br />Overlooking the mortal city of inner light <br />And Notre dame's divinity cushions an atheist's fall <br /> <br />An artist's brush can impress the memory <br />A feeling bottled is a moment cherished <br />In a stolen kiss to wedding ceremony <br />That falls into a love so sadly blemished <br /> <br />Here for an eternity I am so lost <br />A solitary traveler in a dreamer's maze <br />The Seine riffles through years of human cost <br />Where Voltaire cursed revolution's bloody craze<br /><br />C.A.
