Paris
Do you remember, I know you do, that time in Paris?
Our Silver Anniversary - you said
Day 9 - OctPoWriMo
I'm using memories today for the prompt "Eyes".

Do you remember, I know you do, that time in Paris?
Our Silver Anniversary - you said
Leave the
children, let’s go, have our honeymoon – alone.
Three days just for us! A dream.
Three days just for us! A dream.
Like teenagers we
strolled by the Seine,
hand in hand, fingers softly feeling, exploring.

May blossom
floating down - perfume intoxicating.
You squeezed me,
Pointed out the River Cruise boat
I nodded.

My red dress, always
your favourite,
shimmered mackerel reflections.
You’d grown a beard, looked quite the artist
Eyes smiling, we spoke shared stories,
Ate a meal of mussels, our favourite,
With glass of wine - red.
My stomach danced in happy oneness with my spirit,
We talked, can you say about what? No, nor me,
shimmered mackerel reflections.

My stomach danced in happy oneness with my spirit,
We talked, can you say about what? No, nor me,
It didn’t matter,
just to be, that was all, together,
Drinking in our life,
You, so relaxed, your face shone,
Drinking in our life,
You, so relaxed, your face shone,
Didn’t tell you
that – years melting away – very attractive.
We climbed the steps to the Sacre Coeur,
looked out over the city,
sky spotted with twinkling stars.

We danced and laughed, night slipping away.
Later we embraced,
excited as if for the first time,
but better.
Unexpected
surprise, special bond made that day,
of silken gold.

I knew it as I shivered,
not with cold.
Strengthened in desire we looked forward.

A city for
lovers-Paris
Paris is a very special place :)

To fall in love all over again in the city of love, what a beautiful memory to hold close.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jade.
DeleteYes it's a lovely memory. It was twenty two years ago and the family has changed a lot since then.
What a happy memory!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is. It's all about creating happy memories.
DeleteWhat a lovely memory to share -- especially lovely because it affirms the beauty in a a relationship over time (and especially because some of today's poems are sad). That line, we'll always have Paris, resonates for us as well.
