Original DDE™ surrealistic art entitled “Paris Beauty” by: rob kistner © 9/12/24
Quietly she sits
aglow in Paris moonlight
spilling through
the tattered sky
time to time
to flood sterling
in those moments
this quaint sidewalk cafe
lovely lady
you look so at peace
yet so alive
vibrant
and so very beautiful
the rising moon
paints your face
a fetching pale rose
as the full Luna
works its seductive magic
a singular teary beauty
you’re radiant
under the cherry moon
cocktail in hand
I want so to approach you
tell you how enticing you look
how you stir my desire
but I hesitate
I fear you’d consider
my fervent advance
an indecent proposal
I don’t want the color of night
to turn a lecherous purple
when what I feel
is passion’s purest red
yes — I am excited by you
more and more
on fire
you’ve such a classic look
sensual
yet — vintage sophisticated
one of Ziegfeld’s elegant showgirls
but I’m a poor soul
the postman
a lowly schlep
out here fighting daily
to make a living
on this battlefield earth
most certainly
not in your class
my goddess
but I’m swept away
mesmerized by your beauty
the graceful lines of your face
your lithe feline form

your slender fingers
caressing the stem
of your martini glass
like a captivating
catwoman
you are utterly intoxicating
if you ever turn my way
look into my eyes
and smile
well then…
I know who killed me
you
Aphrodite of the corner cafe
Venus of the street-side apéritif
it would be you
…because I’ll likely die
my heart will stop
my hair
turning fifty shades of grey
as my dust blows away
but really
I would not mind
a magical little death
the transcendence of
“la petite mort”
with you m’lady
would be wonderful
quite precious
a precious Paris dream
but alas
too long I’ve lingered
too long I’ve dreamed
this moment has captured me
I am hopelessly lost
to loving you
