Love On April First

Love is April first
Does it sound better?
Better in French
Like Christmas morning
Or breakfast at Tiffany’s
Walking the streets of Paris
Arm in arm as the flowers blossom
The smell of tulips in Amsterdam
Love grows old in silence
Smiling at one another
Across the table
Knowing the words
Of each other’s thoughts
A single rose on a tomb stone
Symbolizing this love

Love is April First
Does it sounds better?
Better in Spanish
Better in Italian

Walking arm an arm in Madrid
Or on the streets of Roma
Staring at marble statues of the dead
Da Vinci’s Madonna
a love more like a painting of melting clocks

Love is April first
Does it sound better?
Better is silence
Growing old together
Every morning romantic
Hand in hand in silence
Impractical passionately idealistic
Current in any language
Even alone
A painting in The Louver
A master piece of life
Even on April first
Before noon and crusty bread
