Ms Orleans

I crunch upon
the steps of street
to venture where
dirt and innocence meet
to drink this dark
I gladly give up my trust
lured by ghostly kisses
that sip my lust
this city shines
through trash at night
powdered by du Monde’s
sprinkling in light
where beauty dances
upon the dirt
earth bound and free spirits
step to her concert
romance me now
oh city sweet
you hold my heart
beneath your concrete

"It is like looking for a blizzard in a glass snowball. Unless you shake it up not one flake will fly."

(smiles) My my my, there's certainly been a lot of poems written about New Orleans today, and it's not even Mardi Gras! LOL! (kiss on cheek) This is beautiful, sweet friend, I love that city, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love
