9/mars/t/04/951

it happened at midnight



all time stop and froze



in the cafe in paris



the rain softly glowed



it splashed just like lightening



on the balcony and rail



the fire persisted



the warmth could not fail



the jazz or the blues



dewy din how it whales



the champagne and wine do flow freely



when there touched they sparkle and hail



my love splashed through he ocean



like a Dear John through the mail



the wind is the only thing



that pushes the sail



like a prisoner awaits



for his dutiful wife to bring bail



her voluptuous face, once glamorous



now a chalk grey pale



in this little Jazz cafe



my heart becomes stale
