In The Streets of Paris (Poetry inspired by Art)


"Snow in Paris" by @peaceinartwork

In The Streets of Paris

In the black and grey streets
of a gloomy Paris,
my shadow lurks.

My heart - black like coal;
cold. Hope dwindles,
like luminescent lights
dulled out by darkness.

You drop out of the sky
like a meteorite -
my lucky star.

Blazing warmth;
cherry red lips
brush against mine;
reborn:
the flame within my heart.

The holiest of heavens
bless my lands.
Falling snow, dancing slow;
layers of white sheets
cover the once bleak streets.

In the black and grey and white streets
of an upbeat Paris,
your soul flares.
