Today
Is our birthday,
The first time you appeared in my life,
So many years ago,
Fingers of my hands can't count.
Do you remember?
Probably not,
We both know
You're not good at dates
As I'm good at
Writing love letters
That are never sent
- and you know why -
It was June the fifth,
The century was about to die,
Just imagine if...
You and I.

... an olive tree,
To give you some shade,
A drop of water,
When emotion dries your throat,
A silent breeze,
When you hold your breath,
Your lighthouse,
When you sail through your storm,
The blood
That runs madly through your veins,
The flood
That spills your wells.
Sweet Darling,
Don't you feel that
I can't stop loving you,
Morning and evening too.
Throughout the years,
I will be
Waiting for you,
If you still want me.

A desert between us?
Only in your dreams.
Your longing?
Reciprocal, it seems.
Your heart ache?
Nothing compared to mine.
My promises?
Rare and always held.
Your smile?
Bright sunray
Throughout my day.
Your heart beats?
My earthquakes.
Your verses,
Daily narcotics.
My horizon?
Just to love you,
On and on.

I can read in your mind
Like in an open book.
... though I never know what
Is written on the next page.

Every morning, a dose of your poetry,
Pink sky, dancing rainbows.
You're on trip, I'm in withdrawal,
Dark horizon, creeping sorrows.
Stay close, sweet Darling,
'Cause you are my ******.

Across the ocean,
Your words,
Question marks in my mind.
Your voice,
Sensual roller coaster.
Your smile,
Rainbow in my sky.
Your giggles,
Waterfall in my ears.
Your arrows,
Open wounds in my heart.
Your angel face
Haunts my sleepless night.
Your eyes,
Locked in my eyes.
Your love,
Denied but who ever knows.
You,
Forever in me.

Despite your choice,
Twice abruptly cabled :
Not to forget your voice,
Years after, still to be able
To day dream of your smile,
To remember your sweetness
While
Day after day, yes,
I pray for You.

Influenced by the Moon,
You push me offshore,
You swap to a different mood,
You applause for a last encore.
I comply, I am your slave,
To you, forever I am tied,
'Cause I am a loving wave,
Prisoner of your tide.

Sweet Darling,
How would I fully
Understand how you function?
You never gave me
The instruction manual.

You can use your knife
To slice me in a million sighs,
Chain tears to my life,
Hold my breath with your rhymes,
Sweet Darling, just think of
what's next : you'll multiply my love.

Let me be your wind,
That will bring soft fragrance,
A gentle scent to make you blind,
Sent with love from my old France.

Let me be your gentle breeze,
To haunt your brittle sleep
And when I turn elusive
Sail on and never leave the ship.

You are like a glass of crystal,
Hard, cold and shining,
You allure, You write with style,
But, Sweet Darling,
I do know You are so fragile.
When You come and get me,
If You ever dare,
Addeso and beyond eternity,
Promised, I'll handle You with care.

I said never again,
No more sleepless nights,
No more pain.
No more endless sighs.
But you are here again,
Your gentle face,
Your comforting eyes,
Your soft voice
Whispering in the night,
Leaving me no choice,
Your coloured verses.
Falling again for who?
For You.
Who else?

One night,
Years ago,
You appeared
In my blue sky
... And vanished
Soon after.
The earth is round
... So I wait.
Just a matter of patience.
Next time
I will catch you
In my open palm.

You broke my heart
But it is still beating
For You.
Hurry and revive it,
Maybe
You will get
Pieces of me.

Tonight, again
Under the freckled sky,
I think of You.
Your smile,
Your voice,
Your sweetness,
Your hidden scars,
Your sadness,
Your fake mysteries
That I would guess so easily,
And other
Fading memories.
Darling,
Was it You
Who once swore
You and me
Would be
Forever?
(Sigh)
Domani,
Will be singing tomorrows?
Your call,
Who knows...
And I'm still here,
Day dreaming of You,
Patiently
Waiting
For your angel wings
To fly me out
From this endless winter.

Every day at noon,
I sleepwalk to you,
Who stands there in the middle
Of the Grande Galerie
Denon Wing, upper floor,
Inaccessible in your polished copper,
Walking into eternity,
Your bow ready for use,
Your arrows
Piercing my heart,
Again ang again.

Stars and calendars
Just whispered
That the last time
You and me met
Was exactly
6,000 days ago.
And
Guess what...
Despite all these years,
You make my heart
Beat so fast,
Whenever I dream of You,
That is ten times a day.
And when my eyes
Get locked to the sky
Over Paris
I see your smile
And your face
In every sunshine.
Tell me how you do it.
Do you use magic?
So I willingly
And slowly
Become your slave,
Prisoner of my
Life time quest
For You.

To be with You
Now and Forever

Did you hear my prayer,
Yesterday at the church ?
Yes, for your happiness, I do care.

<3

Did you suspect my search
For You, after You ran away,
Behind each poem or fragrance ?

<3

Last summer in the Bay,
Did you feel my presence ?
So close from where you live.  

<3

And out of the blue,
Did You seriously believe,
I would forget You ?
For every beat of my heart
Day after day,
hammers ‘She is worth not giving up...
Anyway’

Since you don't remember
Our kisses,
A long, long time ago
In another life,
Let me send you a thousand
Smiles.
Shall they harvest
The fields of gold
Swallow the stars
And embrace your sky.
God Bless You.

You dance with the stars
In your bubbling pink universe
And again for hours,
You **** my night.
No need to whisper your name
To have your smile within sight,
'Cause you are
My everywhere.

First time my sight
Fell on You
During that warm June night,
I had no clue
That I was already trapped
From the very start.
Your wishful prisoner.
Forever.

To sit with you
At the* Café Palais Royal
It has black and white awning ;
Their Tarte Tatin, hmm quel régal !
The view from there ? Never boring.

We have a table en terrasse,
In the corner of the Rue de Valois,
One block from my office.
The neighborhood ? De très bon aloi.

You order a café crème,
While I sip your smile.
I’m about to whisper Je t’aime,
*But it’s like walking on a land mine.

So I just look at you,
Oh if you could let me drawn you
In my ocean blue.

Later, we walk to  that bridge
Where we locked our love
Billions of longings ago.
D . for Darling,
The locks are gone,
They were just too heavy
For my fists.
You can try many tricks,
But life has to go,
On and on.

In my dream world,
You stand at the top of the dungeon,
Laughing at my wooden sword,
And in my mind, spreading confusion.
Day after day, you are challenging
My feelings for you,
Always ignoring
How much I miss you.
Your sublime arrow
Has missed its target,
It seems I'll never be your hero.
Now, read the following secret:
.... .... .......  ......
... .........  ....  .....
...... ...... ...... .....
... .........  .. ;
My fault;
Let me give up
The assault
On your impregnable heart.

Her sublime arrow
Has hit me
On the left side,
An attack by my douce amie,
I would not hide...
D. for Doctor
Please tell me
Is it serious or
Is it going to **** me?
No, she says, this would be too easy...
Look, your heart
Will bleed,
It is going to hurt,
Whatever you did.
And whenever you think it's gone
It will come back again,
On and on,
Your life time sweet pain.

That black and white pic of You
The one with the mischievous eyes
All night long meets my Blue
And my sleep, takes away to the skies.
Oh Darling, if You only knew...
Please let me sink, so I can dream of You.

What if we had met
In Florence, say five centuries ago
Would you have let
Me be your Leonardo ?
You gentle face I would have framed
In the back, a sfumato of Tuscany
You, I would have named
My Mona Lisa, smiling to eternity.

The trail has led me
To the end of the world,
A place short called - - - i
Where I thought my heart would be safe and furled.

I was over there,
You were not there
Of course, stupid me, how would you have known?
By the way, when you read it, did you frown?

Did it make your heart beat faster?
Well, if you could hear mine, runs like the Sprinter...

One next time, as you propose, I will hold your hand
We both know it won't be easy, it will be steep,
But together, we'll reach the top of that dune of sand.
Our sun burnt necks turning deep,
Into the mountain view.

And then, there will be only
Me and You.

You :

Write poems that make me ponder,
But finally, finding no answer.

Hide behind those bars,
Who knows if you don't mean scars.

One winter day, send me to dark eternity,
Knowing well that I would colour your sky artfully.

Feel perturbed when I write love poetry on your face?
Love, for sure, this is the case.

Are influenced by the Moon ?
So your heart turns into typhoon...

After all, you don't change...
... And,
D. for Darling,
You know what?
Don't change anything,
'Cause despite all that
...
This is how I love You.

July 24th, 2014 at around 2 am,
Time in my European night,
After I had told you once more Je t'aime,
Making your heartbeats with mine to fight,
Through the distance we made a deal,
To be implemented if some conditions are met.
Days later, you confirmed and gave your seal,
Saying that you would not forget.
Very well, D. for Darling,
Now you need to hear
That if time comes - me howling
At the Moon, You breaking my vase - I'll be here.

Once, you wrote,
And if I may quote
('Cause after five minutes,
There was nothing left, only peanuts),
That you and me play a game,
That has a universal name,
Love.
No, D. for Darling,
Love
Is way too serious
To be called a game.
'Cause throughout the day,
You are my only aim.
Trust me, this is not funny:
This feeling, or is it a pain,
Is my everyday reality.

Take my hand,
Close your eyes
And
Between two sighs,
Let us reinvent a future
With much allure.*

<3

Take my hand,
Look at my soft palm,
Doesn't it look like sand?
For once don't giggle, stay calm,
Just close your eyes.
Now, tell me...
Why don't you get
That my love for you is on the rise
Since the night we met ?

From my old Europe
To your West coast
With no expectation but still with hope,
For you, here is my weather forecast:
Sunshine every day
To chase your dark clouds
My sky smiling all the way,
Despite your mood and all odds.
Soon, strong wings to take me close to you,
Ocean Blue
To be found near Broadway.

I want you to know
That you are here
In my mind,
In my thoughts,
Every single day
Deep, so deep inside my heart,
My fortress,
Your territory.
I want you to know
That, like a rock breaking the waves,
Firm I will stand
And wait
Until you... (I don't know what)
Not so clairvoyant,
You ignore what I said:
I always keep my rare promises.
None of them ever gets lost (modesty)
Darling,
Don't underestimate my patience,
My Love.

Dreaming of you throughout the day,
Meeting your smile in every rainbow,
Looking at pics of you last May,
Catching your voice in each echo,
Watching the news of where you live,
Searching for you after you leave,
Behind each word, each poem,
Was it you ? And the message you chose,
Where I read Je t'aime
Maybe you mean someone close?
Counting in years,
Before our paths meet again,
Because you know
Against time I never complain.
And of course, my heart,
Oh for you never stops to beat and hurt.
So, Darling, please
You tell me... if this is not Love,
What it is.*

<3

On this special day,
I know
You can feel
Across the ocean,
How much
I pray for you.
Just like
Yesterday
And tomorrow
And the day after tomorrow,
etc
...
..
.

5774 days ago,
You appeared in my night,
365 days ago,
You came back within sight,
122 days ago,
Suddenly you chose to escape,
Leaving me alone
With memories to reshape.
Now I sit
Next to the old olive tree,
Counting its rings,
One, two, three...
You know how
I'm patient
And life has shown,
So resilient.
One day, maybe
You'll send a sign
And again,
Let our hearts entwine.*

<3

... What is in my heart,
Maybe
You would be surprised
By the pace of its beats,
Whenever I long for you,
Morning, and evening too.
And if you knew
How often I think of you,
Most likely
My love you would reject
And, once again,
Escape.

I survived:
My father's death, who left too early,
My mother's trip to the land of forever fog,
The loss of a child,
A few years in the Pool,
Swimming with gentle crocodiles,
The mountain trail somewhere East,
An angry crowd in Musutiste,
On the same day, the shelling in Studencane,
A few disappointments,
One recent betrayal,
And the black cloud nightmares.

I will survive:
The daily headache,
The selection at the Academy
The fading love,
The obsessive longing for Someone,
Yes, I will survive
It all.

So help me God.

Remember your summer storm?
When in the middle of my European night,
Across the Ocean silent cries you would perform,
Me, promising you would be allright.
You, sobbing this storm would wreck it all,
You and me together we would fall.

(thunder)

Now, if you could look at my eyes
As you said, their peace have the power
After a while to soothe your sighs,
Your days and your nights to make quieter.
Indeed, I am like the still water
Of a mountain lake :
The least I can offer
Is to drawn your ache.

(rainbow)*

Alas,
You've decided that
My Blue and your fever,
Among the stars will never
Dance together.

You have done everything
For me to hate you.
But, Darling,
You can read in my ink
That I am unable to
Hate anybody,
Especially you.
This is how God has made me :
Just to love you
Endlessly.*

<3

... My eyes,
To mirror your sighs,
I will give you my smile,
To dance with your smile,
I will give you my hands,
For you to paint the beauty
Of the fertile lands
In the hills of Tuscany.
I will give you my open arms
To surround your shoulders,
When you feel cold during the winters.
I will give you my soft kisses
To dry up your tears
On your pale cheeks
So I can chase your fears.
I will give you my memory,
For you to remember
Our forgotten kisses, if any.
I will tell you some of my secrets,
Even the ones from the Pool,
In case you show interest,
And there you would think I'm a fool.
And of course I will give you
My Ocean Blue,
For you to dive into.
But I will never give you
Anything that can hurt you.
Somehow,
You need to know
That I can only give all this
When you come back from the abyss
To which you've decided to depart,
Leaving me alone to dream of you,
With art.

With our untold dreams
On the beach we've built a castle
To put in our sighs, our whims.
Then suddenly, you left the vessel,
To sail your way, offshore.
The walls, made stronger by my tears,
Can now resist the Ocean much more.
Though I have no fears
That, horse riding as a white knight,
As you vanished, you will reappear,
Sooner or later, maybe in the night,
Back to our sand castle,
my Dear.

April, she first saw the light
June, she appeared in the night
July, she left town
After five thousand moons got down
Suddenly she was back
May, I told her my secret
June, she told me how she felt
August, she said all this should be forgotten
September, apparently I was forgiven
October, she was part of my autumn,
November, she was already on the run.
December, she said no good bye
Leaving me on the road side.
She is an April girl,
Who made my life a whirl.
Now that she is away,
Heartbroken I follow my way.

<3 <3 <3

After I lost you once
In the dark  folds of life,
Suddenly you are back,
Here in my open palm.
I am never, never tired
To see how your rays glow,
Day after day always amazed
How much in my heart your grow,
How high its pulses you've raised.
You are a Jewel,
For whom so many times I fell.
Now let us shine together,
If you wish, one day and forever.

<3 <3 <3
