C'est Magnifique

A woman I met today
reminds me of a French woman
I knew long ago,
long, long ago,
she looks like her
she talks like her
but not in French,
thank goodness not in French,
for I could never understand
all the words she would say to me
when we made love
but it sounded very nice,
very, very nice
and sexy too
and when we spoke
the universal language
she would try to teach
me a few French words
but my mind was on other things,
soft and sensual things,
exciting moments
to remember forever,
and her kiss
so exquisite
so totally and
irresistably
marvelous.
She had it all
and she shared
her best with me,
c'est magnifique.

Wow how weird, this is the same subject almost as a piece I have just written, that brings back great memories of France. Nicely written and much enjoyed thank you.

Is this heaven?
