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 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!

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 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…

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.

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.

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 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.

And with him came the mist,
He was tall, pale and thin,
Head held high, creepy grin,
Weird, you get the gist.
He walked oh so slowly,
Each step deliberate,
Dark eyes looking coldly
As if settling your fate,
His arms were long and still,
Set to each of his sides,
His costume dark and grey,
Quite richly tailored too.
The way he looked at you,
Up high, seeking his prey,
As if he’s who decides;
Could have been the devil…

So, here is what I came up with when trying to work with the prompt I had imagined: “Something ‘mist-erious’. A short story revolving around mist and its mysteries.”.
I don’t really know what to think of it yet but I feel quite satisfied at the moment.
I hope you enjoyed and that you too were inspired by it!
If you want to take a look at the first prompt I offered or the text I came up with for it, don’t hesitate!

On my tongue rolls the taste
Of fresh white snow
That in my haste
I gobble and swallow,
The cold flakes melting down,
Trapped in my throat,
And now the flow
Around me wets my coat.
