I walk the old streets of Paris. The vibrations of lovers purr from the pavement. A constant aria without beginning or end. How can I ever forget you my eternal city. Only when the light of life falls away from my eyes. At nightglow the silence Intensifies her passions. This city needs lovers like food. and I need the city. Morning light appears Yet Paris is still vibrant . Even without sleep she is fresh and gay. The old stone of the buildings Sheds the warmth from the curtains of sunlight now unfolding in spring dawn. On the west bank of the old river artist are mounting their easels. To capture the ambiance of Paris awaking. The colorful palettes mixing her hues. I feel lost in time Both history and today Melt into a single place. Like the mixed colors on the artist paintings. How can I ever forget you my Paris. For you gave me passion and love. You showed me my soul.
