Powdered Sugar Daydreams

Powdered Sugar Daydreams 
 
Time becomes invisible, ceasing to matter
as this place in all its magic and wonder
blooms upon the gardens of our imagination,
playing like birds on a sky of opal blue, wandering streets of old
 
Where rising suns on aqua horizons shift,
singing of a new day which is happily part of the prior,
extending beyond any view offered along this rocky shoreline,
as we stroll by delta desires and riverboat reveries
 
Brick paved streets, uneven but smoothly polished greet us, 
a sidewalk table, warm cuppa, green on white awnings, 
sweet treats beneath Café Du Monde shadows and tender kisses
within the eyes of all passing, and we without a care
 
Music fills the square in harmony with our heart beats,
a three piece jazz ensemble plays melodic romance
while your hand, your fingers, tightly hold mine
and I feel your pulse tap out the rhythm of our day

We dance upon wrought iron balconies
above French Quarter bead laced branches,
glistening in purples and greens
of past parades and tomorrow rendezvous’
 
While jasmine covered arbors bound by geranium breezes
invite us to be one, our love springs forth
in cool waters from passion’s fountain and we find
ourselves lost in powdered sugar daydreams again

This sounds so wonderful yet at the same time so alien to me. But all that music, those images....
