Point Idyll

 




A small and simple villa

Stands at the tip of a peninsula

Near the border with Liguria

But well within French Riviera


Its remote location is a gift

On top of a treacherous cliff

Is a full view of the mild sea

And the nearby quaint city


The place was called Point Idyll

A well-deserved, covetous title

Visitors, guests are mesmerized

By such an astounding paradise


The exteriors of the chateau

Were stylized in Art Nouveau

And when you walk inside

Impressionist paintings hang side by side


Built near the end of 1899

The furnitures will take you back

To the days when good, old ragtime

Was everybody's favorite track


Out into the comely garden

Bees frenetically play with pollens

Rare and exotic flora bloom

Beautifying loved ones' sacred tombs


Into the disorganized kitchen

Through the thick walls aromas transcend

Titillating guests' appetite

Ready for sumptuous dinner every night


Centuries-old heirloom dishes

Preserved through loved ones' dying wishes

Are served on the dining table

The tastes, they say, are incredible


The house, the family, the recipes

Remain intact after centuries

Overcoming every disease

Surviving many calamities


The family's unending bliss

Had neither secret nor mystery

They simply had love and unity

And, of course, reverence to the Almighty


The joy they have in their hearts

Outlasted all wars

That, today, the family remains

With their beautiful house well-maintained.
