Post subject:  Barefoot in Paris

Pigeon hats
On stately form
Stands erect
With face forlorn
Secrets told may
Pass his way
They go no further
He’ll not say.
Naked ‘neath
The stony stare
His sturdy feet
Are cold and bare.

I gaze at him
So tall and proud
Wonder if his voice was loud.
Was he clever,
Bold and strong,
Always good or did he wrong?
Did his woman
Love him true
And pledge to him
As I to you?

So many miles
And passing years
Between us now
Yet still the tears
The flowing stream
Of broken dreams
Keeps running
Foolish though it seems.
My shoes come off
To him I wade
Barefoot in Paris
And so you fade.

Aww...lovely!! ... and sad. Sigh. Love the 'pigeon hats'. Nice to catch up and see all of you again. Always a massive pleasure!
