Sometimes human places create inhuman monsters. — Stephen King

she roamed through paris streets
among old gothic buildings
and overpriced clothing shops.

 

i met her in a vintage,
cliché storybook coffee shop,
sipping lattes
and sorrow
from a cracked ceramic mug.

 

her eyes sang soft crescendos
and i could not turn away.

we walked across white lights
and tasted wine
on top of the eiffel tower
underneath a star-drunk sky.

 

it was beneath this latticework
of raindrops,
when pain met hope
and true tenderness was born.
