Aujourd’hui ne me voila plus que roi
De ce grand château silencieux et si froid,
Où j’erre en des couloirs de pierres sombres,
Solitaire, fantômatique, une ombre.
Et ma langueur violente s’y déchaîne
Et échos de silence et de chaînes,
Ma douleur est lanscinante et je chante
Afin de l’exorciser, et je hante
Afin d’encor me sentir exister
Sans laisser âges passant m’attrister…

Dédicace au grand chef suprême pour le manque de cohérence dans les pieds… ._.

As I first set my eyes on you,
I’m lost; I don’t know what to do.
To me you’re a complete alien,
Coming from another planet.
Goddess lost in the world of men,
An angel fallen from heaven.
And as you pass by you leave me
With, in the heart, a strange aching.
.
Yet you’re so far away, from my heart.
Yet you’re so far away, unreachable.
I wanna shout your name.
I wanna grab your hand.
I want to yell out to you,
To tell you I love you.
But you’re so far away, from my heart.
But you’re so far away, unreachable.
.
You are my sky, my horizon,
You are the border of my world.
I could stare at you all my life,
I swear I would never be bored.
I do want you with all my heart,
You strike me to the core, but yet
When I try to reach out to you,
I find myself unable to.
.
‘Cause you’re so far away, from my heart.
‘Cause you’re so far away, unreachable.
I wanna take you in my arms,
I wanna kiss your sweet, sweet lips.
Oh I want to learn to know you,
To be able to make you laugh.
But you’re so far away, from my heart.
But you’re so far away, unreachable.
.
I often dream being with you,
Sitting there and simply talking.
Speaking about irrelevant things,
And you, you just keep on smiling.
Just the two of us, you mesmerizing.
Just the two of us, each minute passing
To me there is no other star like you,
Always shining so brightly,
Perfect image of beauty.
I want, I try, to get closer to you.
I would rise so high, I would fall so low,
I love you more than you will ever know.
.
No time, energy or inspiration tonight so here is something I wrote quite some time ago now, not really a poem per say, more like a song. It’s not perfect, quite rough even to be honest, but it brings back memories.
.
The day was cold, empty and grey
But on this night I feel alright,
All I did was wander and stray,
Just walk away, far out of sight,
For in those lonely moments when
All I do is wonder and pray
Sadly I feel like I betray
The sacred oath I swore back then,
Thus I run, fly and leave this land
And look for a place where to stand,
If I ever reach this enclave
Tell them I am no more a slave…
.
.
This is the end,
The end of an era,
The future is waiting
Just around the bend
J’irais – ou plutôt je voudrais aller là – où tu iras
If ever you find yourself crying
My shoulder I will lend
For I wish nothing
But to be your faithful knight,
Oh how I wish we were a thing
And to hold you dearly at night.
But I can hear the bell
Ringing in the distance, far,
The end of an epoch, this epoch…
Oh my dear do not feel bad, even I can tell
That we are who we are,
The hand has gone around the clock
And upon this eleventh hour
My one and only desire
Is to face eye to eye
My destiny and not cower,
As the fingers of the Moirai
Take out the flames of this fire.
I am not dead,
I shall not die, I will survive,
No matter if our thread
Is cut shorter, my hope will thrive;
I know nothing of what will come
But a blind man I will still run
Where to or even where from
I know not, but isn’t it fun?
I cannot say that I am fine,
I cannot say if I will be,
Whatever happens we will see
Perhaps may even come a sign,
All in all I am not sad
I’d rather say melancholy,
Perhaps indeed it is just as bad
That I bask in it wholly,
Though who can stop me from myself
Apart from me?
I will not sit eternally on this shelf
In the silence and the dust,
Mais pour le moment restons amis;
I swear, despite my brave words, that I can feel my heart slightly rust…
.
Hmmm. ♪
.
The sages say
Only idiots
Do blindly dash
Towards their goal,
Run all the way,
Non-initiates
Who might soon crash
And lose control.
But what sane mind
Would open heart
And soul alike
With no restraints
To the same kind?
Only through art
Can others hike
Through what love taints…
.
.
In this atmosphere I feel
Like a young man at the heel
Of a gigantic mountain,
Beautiful under the sky;
Of nothing I am certain
Only that I wish to try.
In this unknown maze of star
Lost in a wild sea of smiles,
I will walk farther than far,
I will cross a thousand miles,
Centuries may come and go
Before the answer to this
Great, old riddle I may know;
What, in that time, will I miss?
In my heart I know the truth
But I shall not cut the root
Of this tree yet, for my youth
Is still green and my hope strong,
I await the promised fruit,
I want to witness it bloom
Even were I to be wrong,
Even were it my own doom.
I will smile and laugh and dance
Under sun and wind and rain,
Oh I am sure of my stance
Whatever may come, sweet pain…

Alors on se répare
Le coeur afin qu’il brille,
De sourire et de larme
Ensuite on se maquille,
Et puis on se prépare,
De paillettes on s’habille,
On se donne ce charme
Qu’au public on distille,
On rit pour faire rire,
On s’en sert de béquille
Pour un temps moins souffrir
Les piqûres d’aiguilles
Qui nous saignent le coeur;
L’ennui nous éparpille
Et le temps nous écoeure,
Voilà donc qui nous pille
De nos précieux remparts
Et lorsque vient la fille
Du dernier grand départ
La volonté vacille,
Le courage chavire,
Notre âme se fendille
On ne peut plus gravir,
On redevient chenille
Exilée des hauts cieux,
Simple petite bille
Sans plus d’éclat précieux;
Une vie que l’on gaspille…
.
J’ai essayé un truc.
.
But is it true?
Oh forever
In love with you,
For an instant
Cool my fever
– Melancholy –
Of how distant,
Or even if;
This, my folly.
You are perfect,
Upon a cliff
Of true respect;
Free from all fear,
You so, my dear?
.
.
I want it all
I want it now
I want to fall
And just allow
Myself to sink
In this deep pool
No more to think
Of when or how…
I am a fool,
That much I know:
You deserve wow
And so much more
But can I show
That I adore…
.
.
Oh up is down and down is up,
There is no darkness without light
Not a struggle without a fight
When you are but a newborn pup,
The world is spinning all around
Keeping your feet firm on the ground
Only, you yearn to touch the sun,
You yearn to live, to laugh, to run,
Only, you learn to look away
You learn to give, take half a way
Oh, up is down and down is up
How simple is this small mix-up
Like left is right and right is left,
How have you not ever noticed
That the reason so long practiced
Was truly this world’s greatest theft…
