PARIS.
No Moulins de Daudet on sun blanch’d stone
for this is the cultured pearl of Europe’s throne
no clickety-click when the cigale sings
or olive groves ‘neath the belfry rings
Paris, city of all that one might know
vitality of age set in a mellowed glow
Mouffetard buskers play the discord of jazz
as crossroad fountains splish and splash
The smoothest walls of pure trouve’d heart
obelisks in military marching squares
this love of life and life of art
once the realm of Bonaparte
Its ribboned river banks of cobbled ridge
for iron wheels of death borne royal carts
laced by ornate artisan carved bridges
now student picnics on the pont-des-arts
Within the ring of périphérique walls
are entombed the famed in Lachaise’s halls
Sarcophagi in serried rows
maison’s chez nous for history’s greats
in life more gilded than heaven’s gates
Étoiles are the stars which grace its love of life
they light the jewels set in Parisien playful nights
history flows in the silver Seine and those
who love this place are confidante to its delights
The façades endure the brief kiss of winter
and reflect the summer heat
but within these perfect stone bed walls
the heart of many loving lovers beat
Paris I have loved you all my many years
you have been the sweetness in my longing tears
you are the loving beat within my heart
and I love you more each time we part
