It has been 24 years >>>

since i was in the Louvre, a much younger man in Paris with the woman he loved (and still does to this day)
Thanks Patrick for bringing back so many beautiful memories...my heart is soaring!!!.....

i found these words i wrote all those years ago...forgive my sentimentality by sharing them..

Paris

Lights drip into the Seine
like watercolors running on a blank page
into the still waters that divide
and unite

a city with
an artist's eye
and a lovers heart

each step is like an embrace from a beautiful woman
i have never met a city so accepting
so forgiving
so beautiful

i breathe the air of inspiration
and feel the cobbles trodden by time and history
worn smooth and patinated by passion

i am dizzy with content
and burning with desire

how can a city be so much
to so many.

(Paris. March 1984)
