Paris Scene

A Parisian smile Awakens and touches me After years of being away; Cobble-stoned street Of silky chestnuts Echoes the steps Of shadowy lovers who Embrace and whisper shared sighs. Music spills out Of neighborhood bistros As an aged dilettante Recites his poetry While pouring the house wine For nodding audience In state of ennui While sitting in the sidewalk cafe.
