I don’t know you
Alone, in Paris
my stumbling French
makes you smile, I know you see me
I look away, before your brown eyes
stop my breathing,
slow my heartbeat
back to
calm
I don’t know you
Alone, in Paris
do please join me
at my table, help me order
in your language ... brush my hand
and fill my glass
zap!
I feel your heat
and draw away
breathe
slow
zap!
You feel it too
I know you do
I don’t know you
Alone, in Paris
the violinist
comes to our table, brings two roses
of scented velvet, drawn by our heat
we laugh, through half-closed eyes
and tell him
to
stay
play the world
for us
to dance to,
breast
to warm breast
I don't know you
Alone, in Paris
you pour champagne
and hold the glass, to my cheek
cool me down
so
wet
you
slowly
stroke
my
lips
and smile
as I stop breathing
I don't know you
Alone, in Paris
as candles sputter
our hands linger, like butterflies
on honey'd flowers, you kiss my fingers
first with lips
then your tongue
just
the tip
I don't know you
Alone, in Paris
I know you're luscious
like chocolate - try this one now
between my teeth
feel me ... taste me
breathe me in
I don't know you
Alone, in Paris
we split a peach
warm and soft, moist and dripping
you lean closer
and
slowly
lick
the
juice
I shudder
knowing
that dessert
is still
to come
Let me know you, I whisper
We're all alone ... in Paris
