The Great Levels of Our Love

The Great Levels Of Our Love

It starts with lavender and baby powder
My lover knows the fragrance and scents of love
The ardent aroma, baby soft kisses and caresses
Soft music lingering over our cozy balcony
Overlooking the Champs-Elysee in spring
Nights dancing in the gardens in Versailles
Secret pleasures in the tranquil undergrowth
Days embracing one another at the Louvre
Between the sculpting’s and fine art 
The most precious gifts and great creations in this life
Do not hang upon those walls or adorn the floors
It is the very treasure and the measure born
Of my unending adoration for my love
The very sight, the simple touch, the warmth of you
Those secret pleasures that we shared in Paris
Caressing, pressed lips of passion 
Breathing in your breath of life and flesh 
Savoring every drop of you  
The great leveler of life, the heart of that seduction
Is in the final truth
It is my love for you

Casarah Nance October 8, 2014 at 10:07 PM Oh now I long to be there in paris, I enjoyed this :) Earl Schumacker October 9, 2014 at 2:55 AM Good morning Casarah, Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. When I think of Paris I think of the many layers, levels, and dimensions. You can not begin to absorb it all in just 8 days. It is one of my favorite places on Earth. I wish I could return. Have a great day. Take care. Earl
