Love Poem: Anna and the French Kiss

Anna and the French Kiss

Anna and the French Kiss
Beckon from above
Should I quit this painting 
For the face I love

Shall I paint the Left Bank
Sitting on this bench
Or be teaching Anna
In my broken French

From the Eiffel Tower
Anna calls in vain
High above the green grass
By the River Seine

Near the Macaroon Bar
On a cloudy day
Savoring a coffee 
And a light parfait

Anna thinks about me
Lovingly it's true
Searching for my image
On the avenue

Though I like to paint her
As I often do 
Anna needs a French Kiss
And a lover too.
