Shackled to a stream
of air, hissing
through your lips

My dog lies just there
Hungry for love, try and
Eat beasts like her

Earth spins terribly slowly
Dark sky looks down on me
Day sets, finally...
Yannick Plante Jul 2017
Rushing into love
What is this urge to get comfortable?
Crashing seems so inevitable
We prevent the dove
From ever taking off

Feelings come to fear rising up
As soon as they show up, they are caged inside
It’s never enough, it always needs to be otherwise
Our thoughts often go against our deepest desires

We’re in such a hurry to build something stable
We don’t even take the time to find something suitable
For the both of us

We’re in such a hurry to be completely dependent
We forget how to complete each others sentence
I’d just like to discuss…

With you like a child.

I don’t want to hold my breath trying to be
The love that’s missing in our lives
My heart says it wants to go slowly.
The dove only meets with the skies
When the wind blows smoothly
Yannick Plante Jul 2017
it rains
on the fire tonight
every drop stains
a doubt in my mind
potential in chains
mumbles for change
a dream in my head
drives me crazy
nothing is being said
flames trying to share
it’s just me
sitting with these chairs
my brain aches
there’s too much at stake
cities’ air
makes me suffocate
nature swears
fire does resuscitate

cold dream left alone
damp ashes have flown
warm dream come along
we’ll find our home
Yannick Plante Jul 2017
Sitting on a giant broken tree
Overlooking a vast
unexplored
shallow sea

In his eyes still
lies this memory
Childhood tasted so good
We fought waves, we were so brave
Little soldiers against the breeze of change

As we swam into the tides, further
Teenage years weren’t clear
We sought caves, it’s still so vague
Family is always easy to evade

Now, what lies in your eyes, brother?
Except reflections of images
Framing you into a screen
Silent wavelengths I speak

I’m fighting waves again
Only got water up to my knees
Come on in, you won’t feel the breeze
When we’re in real deep

Into this vast
confusing
shallow sea

— The End —
