Alone, in Paris
The flowers sing
Le jardin du Luxembourg
I look at all the pretty ladies
Which one of them pray tell 
Is you
The one who wishes for that sweet caress
The one whose painting hangs on the wall
The one who knows beauty runs deeper
Than a river running to kiss the oceans swell
The grandest of castles with candles dim
There in the damp night would bonds begin
If only you would listen to my whispers deep
Forgiving the scars I have suffered
As in the night I have wept
Napoleon marched forth across great lands
I the knight have lesser demands
If only you, whoever you are
Would take hold of me
As we dance away our eternities
Sur le pont de Avignon
Where the river flows

Arthur, your words makes the ladies swoon--now if some lady jumps over the moon and you catch her then Cupid's arrow has hit its correct mark! A7

This poem was innovative, captivating, and romantic in character. The story line flows smoothly and sets the pace for this poem. The theme is maintained throughout the poem and the imagery is very good. Emile. #7
