The wine waited and the flowers wilted
chocolates got soggy, limp and listless
the Eiffel dreams of standing tall and *****
slumped to side
and the Champs De Elysees gathered its circumference
and went around in circles.
You did not come as promised
Never mind,
Hope is a cobweb through which we weave
spidery webs of deceit
sticking delicately to daydreams
fruit bowls of Eves apples
and candlelight caresses
that turned the pages of our ******
conversations into imaginary paragraphs
for bestseller voyeurs.
We both made the same mistake
of getting the date wrong
and the timing out of daylight savings sync.
I will plan again for next summers
Postcard from Paris
to myself.
