The Eiffel's All Seeing Eyes

Paris is the city of romance
encaptures love lost couples so dear
experiencing an atmosphere of love
reveals their innermost feelings so clear

There at the heart of Paris
the Eiffel tower stands on high
looks down with its piercing eyes
sees romance evident where heart lies

So much love on view from history
the Eiffel's lense has watched it all
watched boy meets girl to connect
from first kiss to their ring select

Having watched the Paris magic
fall upon two love birds in love
the Eiffel looks on with loving eyes
says deepen your affection from above!

(Looking down from the city of Paris's central point of the Eiffel Tower captures the city's fame as the city of romance looking metaphorically from the Eiffel's eyes on the romance that happened throughout all its years.

God has got a birds eye view - he sees all true love that flows in Paris and the sincere lovers, from the EIFFEL TOWER to the great wall of China to the Colosseum in Italy, and to the statue of Christ who overlooks Rio de Jeneiro - God is everywhere. Well penned dear friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It sounds like an enchanted structure Gordon. I often wondered why Paris was referred to as the city of love. Beautiful wording in your poetry. Befitting of an enchanted place. Cheers Wendy
