Quebec City

Through the cobblestone roads they walk 
with feet so light and hearts so bright 
along the path where passion sizzles love
it is a prelude to dismember by the hour ;
Fine china dishes and silent forks await  
outside the window, a horse passes by  
clickity clack clomp clickity clack clomp; 
They are dreaming of their future 
in Quebec City that place of old  
where open rustic gates are a sign 
of new beginnings;
The waiter speaks with a sweet mix of 
English-French and savoire faire; 
The grateful feast begins 
fullant plates of pasta so divine 
that when the hour is over, all they 
do is lay supine: 
"Embrasse moi mons cherie "
he leans over and kisses her softly 
then feathers her body with a brush 
of his hand , downy soft and warm
no words are needed.
