Happy Thanksgiving (E)
G Nov 2019
Share your knowledge
Your meal
Your roof
Your mileages
Your automobile
Your sunroof

Embrace your given
Moment
Your friend
Your kitten
Your attornment
Toward love, ascend

Make it simple
Love you Mom
Love your day
Wish you had a dimple
Celebrate your prom
Avoid sway

You and me
And all
Are passing by
Just be
Have a ball
Look up at the sky

Dream big
Give a lot
Take time to listen
Find a new gig
Learn a lot
Have fun!
G Dec 2018
Je ne retrouve pas
Ton humour délicieux
Le son de tes pas
Marchant depuis les cieux
Quand ton sourire appas
M'attrapait, astucieux.

Comme le piège du soleil
Éclairant les actes du jour
Ou butinent les abeilles
Sur les fleurs des alentours
Je m’émerveille
Comme au premier jour.

Les odeurs de la vie
Comme une primevère,
Encense mes envies,
Terre à terre.
Ou es-tu, Wifi?
Réveille tes ondes téméraires.

Une image apparaît
Virtuelle,
Plus que jamais
Irréelle,
J'accroche mon cœur comme Beyoncé,  
Au crochet d'un célèbre mortel.

Puis je renais !
Sans ombre,
Rien n'est neuf, mais tout me plait
Je vole dans les ondes
Du progrès
Qui explose sur mes écrans noirs de monde.

La solitude n'existe plus
Que dans les romans
Des écrivains déprimés et sans vertu
Peu importe qui est amant
Rien n’est conclu
Seul compte l’irremplaçable moment.

Day Dreaming (E)
G Dec 2016
New
Will be old
Tomorrow.
Promise few,
Let Love unfold
And flow

Around you
The world is watching
Every move.
Think it through
Before blogging
Find your groove

A single word
May change
For ever
The world
And derange
Whowever.

The peace
We seek
Starts at our door
Love is the masterpiece
Let it speak
I implore…

YOU, the Humans!

Awaiting Supermoon! (E)
G Oct 2016
The faux dark
Sparkles
In the shade
Of your heart
I sense troubles
Being played

Loud enough
To disturb
My dreams.
Sounds off,
Superb
The full moon beams

Invade
The silence
Of the horizon
My surrounding swayed
Loosing balance
Bursting my emotions

Love transpires
As a winner
No matter the moment
Fueling smiles,
From spring to winter
Of nature’s endowment.
Alive, well and sleepless 10-15-2016

Le tiroir
De  la vie
S'est ouvert ici
Un matin noir
Sans bruit
Sauf un cri.

Merci
Ma mère
D'avoir ouvert
L'infini
Dans l'air
Du temps qui fuit, à l'envers.

Tu ne manques
Pas d'air
De courir si vite
La distance.
Sans en avoir l'air
Je suis la fuite

Des jours
Fleuris de sourires
Ou rincés de larmes
Aux alentours,
L’amour s’en va languir
Et sonne l’alarme

Bonjour la vie !
En ce beau matin
D’espérance
Qui efface l’ennuie
Et réveille le destin
De la fleur de jouvence.
A ma mère, Simone, qui me donna la vie, un beau matin gris de 1949.

Parking (E)
G Feb 2016
I sit
Like a valet parked car
Engine off
Time to split
Afar,
And smoke a Davidoff!

One two-three
Life is never
Suspended
Feel free
To enter a new endeavor
Embracing the unexpected.

So far so good
Miss Life!
I applaud
Your hood
I-five
Life is no fraud.

The choice is clear
Either you marry
Society rules
Which promotes fear,
Or you live happy
Singing sum' good blues.

Taking off! 2-5-2016

G Feb 2016
Why does the light
Travel
In the room
So fast?
Show me the tower of Babel
Under full moon.

Let the details
Marvel
My eyes
Now I need cocktails
To disable
The fear besides

The unknown
Revealing nothing.
I walked faster
Entering a bar known
Embracing
A fake ancestor

Perhaps
I need to travel to Zanzibar
To see the light
Of my past
**** the bar
Its moonlight

Spare my brains
The lawyers
Of made-up Gods
Keep your own pains
Like cake layers
Singing on your I-Pods

I enter
Everyday
Blessed by my imagination
Writing a letter
Never sent anyway?
But alive is my passion.

Little
Is more
Than less
Entitle
Me to open the door
To progress.

It’s dark
But the moon
Shines at you
Earmark
A new page at noon
For a rendezvous’

Destiny
Ignores your dream
With malice
Certainty
Like a sunbeam
Brings you peace

Enlightened by hope
Walk to now
Ignore
The horoscope
Nor wait until tomorrow
Open that door!

I cannot rest
My mission
To spread love
Is a request
From a vision;
Kind of?

Above.
As the moon
Spreads mystery
I wear a glove
To caress the cocoon
Of infinity

Dancing along
Through a dark cloud
Debonair
I dismiss men’s wrong
And smile, proud.
Hate goes nowhere.

OneLove, G.
G Aug 2015
Don’t miss a bite
Of today’s free
Blessing of walking up
To the sun, that gives light
Just be
The half-full cup.

Take the time
To smile
To those who pass by,
Imagine a chime
Of a musical style
That can make you fly.

After all
It’s only a day
But it could be last.
Break the wall
Back away
From the sad, have a blast.

Don’t despair
You can find love
At a corner,
Anywhere
But it must fit like a glove
To be extraordinaire

Show passion
Welcome “out of the blue”,
Just look around
And pay attention,
It’s not just about you,
But everyone’s breeding ground

Round is planet earth
Circling daily
Carrying billions of souls,
Make it worth
Let Love come your way
Be ready, have a ball!

G Jul 2015
It has been a long time,
Since I dream
Of you.
Am I loosing track of time?
Is my cell alarm set to am?
Soon, I want to wake up beside you.

Two years in the making
The scenario
Of falling in love was a repeat
I remember feeling
That all about you was apropos
But you had to leave in a beat

The music of your passage
Became the visual memory
Of your natural presence
I had to turn the page
Hoping to see you was a fantasy
I closed the chapter and let the universe dance.

And it did.
The choreography of a life moment,
Brought back your presence
Pass code valid
Enter your information with sentiment
Be real in one short sentence

Like I love you?
Don't introduce prudence
Say it loud and clear
Perhaps in French: “je suis fou de vous”
So that we can dance
Year after year.

Framing the day! (E)
G May 2015
The timid sunrise
Welcomes a new day
Of being.
Love without disguise
Enters my way,
As a blessing

Remembering
Those who were
In the cloud of love,
Welcoming
Anew, debonair
Today will fit me like a glove!

À l'allure
Ou tout se passe
L'Univers
Vit à la dure
Et grimace,
Débonnaire

Les drones
Tuent,
Les transgénique
Prônent
Les goûts confluent
En clique

L'artificiel
Triomphe
Impunément
Le superficiel
Se gonfle
De compliments

Alors, fatigué
Du futur
Le temps s’arrête
Couvrant de baisers
Impurs
Les couples en fête.

L'Amour
Triomphe toujours
Sur le faux
Mes yeux de velours
Sans détour,
T'aiment, sans dire un mot.
Au confluent du provisoire. Le 4 avril 2014-G.
G Apr 2015
Ouf,
L’étoile
S'est envolée
Sans un souffle
La voile
A tournée

Le décor
Du Ciel
Inondé de lune
Invite nos corps
À l’essentiel,
La douceur est à la une.

Je me rappelle
Des nuits
Solitaires
Défilant à la pelle
Suggérant l'ennui,
Débonnaire.

L’instant devient pur
Le silence ronronne
De joies éphémères,
Vive le futur
Que l’Amour fanfaronne
Été comme hiver.
Pour Charles, le 18 mai 2014 -G.
G Apr 2015
Moments douillets
Dans l’ombre
De leurs cœurs
Bientôt Juillet,
Dans la pénombre
Tout devient fleurs.

Alors resplendissent
Les joies sans peur
Et les regards coquins
Calmes, ils se glissent
Dans le bonheur,
Jusqu’au matin.

Assouvis
Par les aveux,
Par la passion,
Le fil de leurs vies
Peu à peu,
Change de direction

La loi du cœur
S’éloigne de la jungle
Des hommes
Qui créent la peur ;
Ils jettent l’épingle
Dans le foin uniforme.

Perdus dans la botte
Du mystère
Qu’éclaire la lune
Ils invoquent,
Débonnaires
Leur amour fortune.
Le 9 juin 2014
G Apr 2015
Rouge
Comme les pétales de roses
Envolées
Qui bougent,
Afin que j’ose
Te donner un baiser.

Orange
Comme la pleine lune
Qui séduit
Étrange,
Ta caresse opportune
Qui glisse et s’enfuit.

Jaune
Comme le diamant
De couleur
Trouvé dans la faune,
Je saisi dans l’instant
Et ton sourire cajoleur.

Vert
Comme l’espoir
Qui s’installe
A découvert
Dans tes yeux noirs
Ou rayonne l’amour fatal.

Bleu
Comme le ciel pur
Aux reflets
Délicieux
Qui dessine notre futur,
Sans regrets.

Indigo
Qui es-tu ?
Plus bleu que bleu
Un faux ?
San vertu ?
Alors ami, fais le beau.

Enfin s’immisce le Violet
Dans le noir de l’encre
De tes tatouages.
Alors j’ouvre les volets
De nos amours tendres
Sans ambages.
Amours multicolores-le 16 juillet 2014, pour Charles
G Apr 2015
Bercé
Par le fil du temps
Qui s’évade
S’est envolé
L’amour d’antan,
Sans faire de vague.

Rien à dire
Tout reste beau.
Silencieusement,
L’image de l’avenir
Sans dire mot
Se dessine impunément.

Tout reste à gagner
Dans l’engagement
De la passion affective
L’artiste obsédé
Crée inlassablement
Et récidive.

Rien n’est important
Mais tout compte
Les cycles longs et courts
D’amours virevoltants
Deviennent des contes
De Fées, pour toujours.

Les pages blanches
Attendent
La prochaine aventure
C’est l’avenir qui tranche,
La plume devient friande
D’un titre de couverture.
Le 24 avril, découvres toi d’un fil ! G.

Bombing the peace (E)
G Apr 2015
What can I learn?
From a day of horror
I asked the moon,
My night lantern:
Can we start the world over?
After such afternoon

Her crescent shinning
In the clear night
Of a bleeding city
Below the sky crying
Searching of unite
Love and unity

Unable to respond
She asked the stars
But they remained silent too.
I decided to rebound
Looking afar,
Dreaming of virtue

Silence came upon us
The dark and clear night
Unable to connect
To the humans anxious,
Wishing that the next day light
Will deliver a world perfect

Brushes
And ****** oil
Music
Clutches
The foil
Of the magic


The hand dances
With bubbles
Around
No fence
Nor troubles
But free sounds


The conductor
Embraces
His orchestra
Like a master
Living a trace
Without faux pas.

WITNESS (E)
G Apr 2015
All I can do
Is witness
The inspiration
Red, black or blue
He, who possesses
Passion

To create
Expose
Imagine
Transfer and relate
Life that goes
Beyond the fragile

Strength
Becomes weak
Illusions
In trance
Movement that bespeak
Beautiful delusions

The memories
Of the brushes
The oil, the canvas
The musical symphonies
Balance the rushes
Without faux pas.

FIVE SENSES (E)
G Apr 2015
Touch a pearl
And remember
Its feel
Caress the curl
Think of your mother
Genteel

See the artist
Whose hand
Through the mind
Drew curves in the midst
On the walls hang
A painting signed

Taste the fruit
A berry or a peach
A tomato or a pear
Natural pursuit
Life preach
Tree in prayer

Smell the air
All over again
Without fear
Debonair
But not vain
Nor queer

Hear the music and dance
Enchanting the moment
Let sensual chills
Feel a magical trance
Gift of atonement
Let Art give you thrills.

Calming raindrops
Fall slowly
Erasing on the macadam
The memory of teardrops
From the tragedy
Crying Ad nauseam

In the heart
Of the hurt
Dark fate
Made love depart
When the burst
Terminate

One drop at a time
Nature reminds
Us of beauty
Forgiving downtime
Our clock rewind
Celebrating liberty

The wash of nature
Brushes away
The traces in surface
Hello future
******* away
Bring a smile on my face.

Anticipation (E)
G Apr 2015
I glanced
At the blue
My eyes
Chanced
At the rendezvous
I rise

The flow
Of simple words
Sufficed
To make me glow
To feel captured
Your hand enticed

Me
To follow you
I knew your name
Only
I fell anew
As a new flame

Descending
From the moon
At a half
Glowing
Over our cocoon
On our behalf

Blessed
Our walk
Our dance
With finesse
And the talk
Became romance

A reward
Still shy

A moment
To partner
Oh savior

Like gold
That flows
Inside
And bold
I borrow
Your bedside

Love
Marks
My space
Like a glove
I embark
In your grace

I inhale
Your scent
Your passion
Your trail
Your talent
Your vision

I dream
A future
Of love
Like a stream
I venture

Surprisingly

The facets
Of our lives
Outshine

Catch a sun ray
After dawn

Of being alive
Emulate
Your thinking
Get up and thrive!

Orangy moon
You set me on fire
But my heart was burning
Trapped in the cocoon
Of a dangerous dire;
Love was hurting.

The scenery
Of perfect,
Like a song of hope
Turned into misery
The senses were wrecked,
Mind could not cope.

Exploding above
Like a Vulcan
That covers,
With an immense glove
Tentacles of deception
Deceiving the naïve Lover

Too late does not exist
The moment reign
Senses make decisions
Yesterday was missed
Let now gain
Over illusions.

G Mar 2015
As the smiles
Take over
Relieving
The despise
I wonder
If giving

A hug
To those
Who murdered
May have debug
And give a rose
To their love hindered

As the wireless
Feeds fake hopes
Love fades
Into a relentless
Dangerous *****
Towards hate

Show your Love
Imagine there's no heaven
Like the Beatles
Wear no glove
Do not hide, be driven
Eliminate the battles

Remember
That love starts
At your doorstep
Surrender
Your hearts
Take the first step

No 18 or 23 year old should feel enough hatred to bomb innocents.
