Paris in my heart
(In Paris when I was 15 and my face was uberfat :p)
Paris in my heart
A latent love, dormant since fifteen,
Caressed and coaxed by the azure tint
of sky and spires towering high,
Lifting not just my heart but my soul, to sing.
Wayward hats with jaunty step,
Laughter and warmth from rays and jest,
To watch from Montmartre the blazing sunset
paint a postcard of the sky.
Traipsing around with our emotions loose,
Sampling fromage and chocolate mousse,
Crafting pictures however we choose,
Etching memories along the way.
Alas, here we part at the end of day,
Step by heavy step lest our desire holds sway
to linger here til we turn old and grey,
Immortalised in some artist's tableau.
Gasping to savour each colour and tone,
Each breathtaking piece of metal and stone,
Feel love and dreams again in your bones,
In four days, romance rekindled.

(at the foot of the real Arc de Triomphe with the best travelling buddy ever!)
(watching the sun set upon the rooftops from the roundabout under the Arc. you really feel like you're just sitting in Paris watching the world go by. this is the life man.)
(Paris is... L.O.V.E! haha and right after that we broke into chorus in typical KBox style singing "IIING, HAPPY, ING!...")
Paris is not a place easily described with words... haha. And my pictures aren't the best. Plus I haven't downloaded my pictures from Montmartre with the gorgeous sunset and Versailles yet. Btw did anyone get a vid of Frankie running around chasing all the birds? And all the dinner pictures!
I guess everyone is busy catching up with work now that we're back, but those are some memories from four perfect days, and one photo from long ago :p
love, jem
