Places of Poetry - A. F. Stewart
Cities
Paris.jpgReciting by Moonlight
Quietly sitting in a Parisian café
beneath the night of a silver moon
not far from the Champs-Élysées
A peaceful, tranquil end of day
under starlit shafts from la Lune
quietly sitting in a Parisian café
Strains of Tennyson drift my way
as I stir espresso with a spoon
not far from the Champs-Élysées
Strong words, the voice holds sway
the impromptu recital, such a boon
quietly sitting in a Parisian café
I close my eyes, all cares away
in poetry immersed, ears attune
not far from the Champs-Élysées
A perfect night, coffee, a beignet
But alas this will end, far too soon
Quietly sitting in a Parisian café
not far from the Champs-Élysées
In Memory of Forgotten Loves
Wandering the streets of old Paris, lost
in tender thought, our woven dreams rose-glossed
Our sweet hands entangled, in youth’s concord
grasping absolute love, as we adored,
until affection fled with winter’s frost
Another love, passion’s kiss breathed star-crossed
Fire and ice, lovers sailing tempest tossed
The flame died quickly; we became unmoored—
wandering the streets
Years produced caution, and love less embossed
reflected esteem, contemplated cost
I tried, but often her heart, I ignored
The day she left, I watched as the rain poured,
churning the soot and the smell of exhaust
wandering the streets
City of Lights
Against a sunset cerise
