Let go

.

Let me fall towards the void

And alone I shall find my route,

I wish that I could wish wings and sprout

But sadly, I, being a mere android,

Let me float off to yonder,

Around the world over mountains,

Wish into wells and old fountains,

I will discover lost wonders!

Let me drift through the years

And let time be time again

For eventually must stain

The white silk of my fears,

Let me run into the woods

And race blindly among trees

Where deep breaths instantly freeze

And glaze sunshine on my moods,

Let me listen to the earth

And its melody of grounds

As it slowly dances to the sounds

Of a hundred, and one birth,

Let me go to this nowhere

Where ware worth is worse for wear,

Let me go to this somewhere

Where we were just now I swear.

.


Perhaps it is when you think it is the end that all can begin anew.

Everything ends and it’s always sad, but everything begins again too and that’s… always happy.

K

.

I am fine, I am okay,

I promise life is not grey,

I just happen to be sad

From time to time, some lone nights,

But I swear it’s not too bad

For I have my faithful knights:

Imagination and hope

By my side, always ready,

To give smile and company

As I climb this gentle slope;

There is not much you can do

For I, myself, am beyond,

Show me love but keep words few

For it is enough to bond,

Or make them shine and fly high,

Let them rain down in sandflakes

For, as hard as we may try,

Too much pressure and it breaks.

This is no exact science,

I just need calm and patience

And it will pass in due time,

In the end the bells will chime

And the skies will clear again,

The sun will rise bright and warm,

Its rays rusting away pain,

And reveal once more the charm

Of all I hold in my hands,

So, my friend, trust me I say,

So long as poetic stands

In the end I’ll be okay.

Space changes but time is set;

There are moments such as these

That you cannot fight or seize

And you simply have to let…

Amitié/inimitié

.

Il faut se départir

De son inimitié

Et apprendre à partir

Contraire à qu’imitiez

Afin de répartir

Amour et amitié

Et enfin rebâtir,

Nous, les grands héritiers,

Car de tous les martyrs

Qui méritent pitié

Sont-ce eux qui combattirent

Les premiers à châtier ?

.


Amour et paix. Ah mais ! Et pour !

Iron rusts away

.

What shall become of chains?

You may ask,

What of these bitter pains

Hind the mask?

What of these hideous scars?

What meaning

Is given to those bars

Demeaning?

True, these hardships may

Destroy you,

But iron rusts away,

So will you,

Chains shatter, bars crumble,

And they fade,

And matter will stumble

On the blade,

Oh remember that rust

In the wind

Scatters just like old dust,

Yet beats twinned

Still echo in a heart

That is lost,

And all beautiful art

Has a cost,

The meaning is yours to give,

Yours to draw,

For the life is yours to live,

In the raw,

Look pain into the eye,

Remember,

What’s dead may never die,

But ember

May always be revived

With a breath,

Relish that you survived

But love death.

.


Not quite clear that one. There’s a message in there, somewhere, I know it. Do you?

Netherlore

.

The seagull flies high over sea

And the crow stands here, mocking,

I walk along the jagged shore

Looking beyond the horizon,

Nobody knows what I can see

But I envision great ships docking,

I travel lands full of olden lore

And great armies which men rise in;

I am both birds in one feather,

Mocking this world and its people

As I delve into another,

Yet I can’t help but yearn to fly over

It, but, stuck on the ground, cripple,

I am just an unrequited lover.

.


No explanation for this one, I let the words carry me.

Hints and hunches are mine to keep.

The end is coming

.

Can you feel it? Not cold, not scary nor painful,

Not quick but never far, neither here nor quite there,

Neither rotted away, nor highly beautiful,

Incredibly unjust but always ever fair,

Steps as light as feathers, yet as heavy as night,

Whether your door’s open or not, at the fourth knock

It will come in gently so not to cause a fright,

Though some may tempt a joke, none can quite truly mock

For, for all bravery, anyone knows foolish

To fly higher than stars or to cry a whole sea,

To trap love in a box or wild nature to free,

When one has never tried to sit down and relish

In a soft, gentle breeze under the sun’s caress,

To feel the world around, remember you possess.

.


A bit of cheap philosophy from someone who live by the quote “do as I say, not as I do…“.

Still, I hope you enjoyed.

The old fisherman’s tale – I

.

Let me tell you a sad

But beautiful story:

An old fisherman had

All his life loved the sea

With a heart ever pure,

The beautiful ocean,

Glinting waves of azure,

Understood this notion

But never could give back,

As a broken mirror

Reflecting life clearer

Within a thousand crack…

.

Man walks into bar

.

A man walks in a bar,

A room dusty and dim,

He says “Hello! It’s me!”

And all clients turn round,

Every single body

Suddenly makes no sound,

But, you’ll find it bizarre,

In fact it was not him…

.


Yes, I know it’s stupid.

Yes, it’s suppose to be this way.

Three li’l sheep

.

Three li’l sheep, running in the snow,

All white, all white,

What a beautiful sight!

Three li’l sheep, running in the snow,

Sadly one must go,

Now only two sheep remain…

Two li’l sheep, running in the snow,

All white, all white,

What a beautiful sight!

Two li’l sheep, running in the snow,

Sadly one must go,

Now only one sheep remains…

One li’l sheep, running in the snow,

All white, all white,

What a beautiful sight!

One li’l sheep, running in the snow,

Sadly it must go,

Now none of the sheep remain…

.


Not mine, a simple translation of a children’s song from a Breton singer I used to listen to a lot when I was a kid.

In the original text in French, it is detailed that the sheep actually melt in the snow, making the story beautiful and poetic but quite sad (or melancholy at least).

I tried my best but rhymes and fidelity are not always easy to fuse…
