POEM: Parisian Paramours

This was written to the featured artwork on this week’s CPC Simple Sunday Picture Challenge.

The artist is Frenchman Nicholas Jolly, and the watercolor is titled simply “Cafe – Painting.”

 

PARISIAN PARAMOURS

In a cafe on Rue D’Amour,
two innocents with good hearts pure.
But this was Paris in the day,
when both were young and game to play.

Each in his way, or his and hers,
approached where modesty demurs;
inclined to do what nature stirs
as instinct tells what it prefers.

A simple lunch in open air
Two smiles which exchanged lovers’ care
Four eyes reflected limpid pools
No time for petty mundane duels.

Ten fingers locked in tight embrace,
entwined two souls in time and space.
Dark bloody world turned madly on.
Young love repelled all sadly wan.
