Elle : disloquée, réunie.

C’est une fille de haute liesse, à prendre la vie en proue, hisser les heures à vive allure. Une femme libre de son essor, destinée à être maîtresse. Elle exècre son ombre, sa chaleur, sa voix. Ne supporte plus son odeur ni le bruit de sa vie. Une femme d’espace amoureux saturé de miel et d’ombres intimes, de fière approchée, de tressaillement secret. Elle s’obstine à embraser la neige, à interrompre le silence. Elle veut ne plus vouloir sans jamais vouloir ce qu’elle ne veut. A l’aigu de la fatigue elle vacille mais demeure debout. Elle crie son corps de partout. Brûle. Implore : aime moi. Elle est de ce qui croît, persiste et tient. Arpenteuse chargée du poids léger de l’amour. Elle dort. Et le monde alentour tait sa trépidante vigueur.

Come on

*

Come on move your body,

Baby shake your booty,

Throw your arms in the air,

Wave ’round your gorgeous hair,

Shout as loud as you can,

Sing and laugh like a fan,

Free yourself from shame, move!

In your soul, feel the groove!

*

Wanderer

.

The sea is blue,

The port is small,

I think of you,

I hear you call;

The sky is wide,

The wind is warm,

Please be my guide,

I mean no harm;

The streets are calm,

Large slabs of stone,

Heart in my palm,

I roam alone.

.

Home

.

Home is where the heart is, home is where love resides,

Home is when we were young, home is when we have kids,

Home knows no preference, home knows no hate, no sides,

Home is where we are free, where no one things forbids,

Home is where we’re happy, where no one is hiding,

For home is our mother, always love providing,

Home is our inner self, who we are at our core,

Home is where we’re at peace, where no man is warring,

Home is where we’re living, which we sometimes ignore,

Home is our precious Earth and we should be caring!

.

Silver bullet

.

Oh can you see? I ask,

But that is not my meaning.

Oh can you understand

What I am going through?

For it should be your task

When you see me pleading,

For me, to take a stand

And to protect too, true?

Don’t wait until the mask

That I have been wearing

Ends up back in my hand.

For you will not construe

Until you see me bask

While others are bleeding,

The meaning I have planned…

.

For ages man stood

.

For ages we stood tall and proud,

On land, at sea and in the sky,

All of nature to humans bowed

But never did it satisfy.

So one day Man wondered how far

He could soar up in the heavens,

Above even the highest star?

Sadly, his sins, nothing leavens…

.

Bien.

.

A qui veut essayer l’art de la rhétorique

Sans autre pratique que celle du papier :

L’esprit de l’escalier t’attend sur le palier.

Car le mot juste et fort -poignard bien ascéré-

Se fait parfois retord et nous force à errer.

Comme le dit l’adage : la parole est d’argent mais le silence est d’or.

Plutôt que le partage de la verve, ces gens qui ne sont point cador,

Devraient donc s’abstenir sous peine de rougir.

Sir Automaton

.

Might you know too this strange feeling?

When in the middle of a crowd

With such sheer liveliness bustling

And hundreds of voices so loud;

Walking through a sea of faces,

Going hundred different paces

But moving as one strange creature,

Thousand eyes and ears for feature…

Know you also this sensation?

In the heart of animation,

Surrounded by activity,

Lies purest anonymity.

.

Shadow

.

You can’t move, you’re paralyzed,

As her breath slides on your neck,

Oh too late you realized

That you’d forgotten to check

The small lock near the window,

Now her voice raspy and low

Resonates into your soul

As darkness swallows you whole…

.

For it is not enough

.

For it is not enough to simply know the way

You have to be willing, try your hardest to stay,

Nothing in this wide world can be simply given

It has to be worked for, whether earned or taken,

Oh but I see you come, contesting what’s above:

“And what make you of this little thing we call love?”

Well let me please explain, once a heart is captured

-Love isn’t just some game- one must have it nurtured.
