Favorite Quote:
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. -Edgar Allan Poe


Never a dull sunset
Mon amour
Tattooed your name so I don’t forget
Mon amour
Winter nights but still the warmest
Mon amour
Seems I’ve loved you for the longest
Mon amour
And upon my face a smile
Mon amour
Haven’t felt this way in a while
Mon amour
Think I’ve found you –
Mon sauveur, mon amour


The author's comments:

Cigarettes et de Palmiers is French for Cigarettes and palm trees, which I'm using to refer to the feel of California. My inspiration to write this came from a being in love and living in California. My refrain is in French because Im of French descent and I find it to be a language of love and it gives an old feeling to the sonnet. Im hoping anyone who reads this will get a 30's- 60's love story.
