I remember Paris in days gone by
The Champs Elysee, San Michelle,
And old Beaujolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
In those Parisienne days.
Gary Moore
......................................................................................................
You and I together, on the continental sidewalks of Paris
sun drenched days, with the burgundy bougainvilleas in flower
taking pictures of you, on my camera phone
as you posed and pouted, against the river Seine
with the magical Eiffel Tower, dominating the frame
I fell in love with you, when Cupid fired his bow
as French accordions played, my cherie amour
sipping white veno, at the midnight Toulouse cafe
we toasted our glasses, and played teasing table games
as we celebrated wildly, under the Arch De Triumph
the bluebirds were singing, as we counted our blessings
on the Champs Elysee, we kissed and smiled
arm in arm, with not a care in the world
we skipped happily along, the boulevard wall
tasting and savoring, the thrill of passion's first bloom
romantic interludes, at the sassy Moulin De Rouge
our eyes were captured, as Eros wove his talismanic tale
we danced the sexy tango, in sensuous Gallic style
the prelude to consummation, under tha pale moonshine
when we loved until the morning came
with dawn's flickering golden light
and you and I were spellbound
in the eye of Venus's storm

Ah Paris...you've brought back so many memories touching poetically on almost every place I made a point to visit from the tour d'eiffle to the Moulin Pouge...to the lights of the city from sacré coeur. It was an amazing nineteenth summer. Thanks for the romantic rush Français, Peter!

You always weave such assimilable scenes. It's almost uncanny sometimes how you actually feel like you're there with you.
This was a lovely and colorful memory Sir Peter. Marvelously done and especially appreciated because of how it moved upon the soul and senses.
