Ocean Blue Feb 2016
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.
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
I can read in your eyes,
What your words would not say.
What I've seen brings me to heights,
My heart and soul so far away.
Needless to blink,
It is too late, I have guessed
Give up your paper, feathers
And ink
I know that, by the angels
You are blessed.
Ocean Blue Jul 2015
Take my hand,
Close your eyes
And
Between two sighs,
Let us reinvent a future
With much allure.*

<3

Ocean Blue Dec 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Apr 2015
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
Ocean Blue Apr 2015
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
...
..
.

God bless you

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.
Inspired by Laurent Voulzy's song "Une Fille d'Avril"
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
Please, come closer
I wish to feel you near
So I can whisper
Something in your ear.
Three little words I call a secret,
A commitment I don't dare to say
But if you press on my heart
You'll feel it anyway.
Ocean Blue Mar 2015
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.
Musutiste and Studencane on February 20th, 1999:
twice on that day, God decided it was not due time for me.
Ocean Blue Jun 2016
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.
Ocean Blue Mar 2016
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.
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
In my country they say
You know you are in love
When you start
Acting against your own interest.
I confirm.
Ocean Blue Oct 2015
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.
God Bless You
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
During a clear night of autumn,
At the other end of Europe,
You came to life
So easily, so peacefully
Without a strife
Even making me to worry.
You were already as you are now,
Quiet, secret, colourful,
Like all the stripes of a rainbow.
The very day
of your first birthday,
You started to walk.
When you were two,
You started to talk,
Your dark eyes
Searching in my ocean blue
Clues like united spies,
What is wrong, what can be true,
This innocent curiosity
I find challenging and funny.
When you were three,
You broke your arm.
When you were four,
We moved to another country,
Where you had to learn
To be a little Frenchy.
When you were five,
During a cold winter night,
You were sleeping
When our worst nightmare
Became reality.
When you were seven,
Your newborn sister took you to heaven.
Now, when you have too much of Elle
For a second, you are close from hell.
Now the years are passing by
Like speedy clouds in the sky.
You are growing,
Walking to school with friend,
Without knowing
That, to this race I would like to put an end.
Sometimes I regret
Not to take enough time
To tell you yet
How much I love you
How much I am proud of little you.
Stay as you are
In my night, be a star,
And let me say,
Happy Birthday.
"Decaded" to my son Denis, who turns 10 in a few hours. Hopefully, one day he will read this text, along with "Your Dad".
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
An ocean between you and me
Six weeks of common memories
Little things of you
So clearly I remember
Blurred feelings about me you say you keep
Though, so much together to be built
If we do not talk
It does not mean
That we don't miss each other.  
If, for whatever reason,
We keep a distance
It does not mean
We forget each other.
Too late.
Your mind is in my neighborhood,
For good.
Ocean Blue Nov 2015
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’
Ocean Blue Oct 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
She is perfect
Such an amazing shape
Her smile
Combined with her eyes
Makes me melt
Smile like silly,
Feel like a teenage.
She is nice
Never loosing temper
Never a word or a sentence that she would regret
Giving so much attention
Showing so much of true interest
Never faking, never playing politeness.
She is smart
Knowing so much on different things
And pretending to have to learn
So much more.
Sometimes at dawn
Across the Ocean
I tell her she is an angel.
An angel that has fallen from the sky.
And she laughs
She denies
She says no I am human
A simple, normal woman.
Who knows...
Ocean Blue Feb 2016
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?
Ocean Blue Jul 2014
She lives so far away
At the other end of my world
That far she would not say
So far that it hurts my soul
When she is about to fall asleep
Here, my clock says bip bip
She greets me with a Good morning sunshine
That instantly makes me feel fine
But when it is her turn for a few hours to disappear
Into sadness I am about to fall near.
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
You, get out of my way!
Let me drive further!
Summer is gone, it's already May.
Don't drive me to ******
Life is too short
To waste time
With people of your sort.
This life is mine.
I want to live it now.
(Mood fiction)
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
Walking under the trees
Somewhere in the Sologne
Somebody he misses
Making him feel alone.
Questioning the future
Not knowing how long it will last.
One day it will happen,
Leaving behing his past:
Her shade will appear
In the mist of the deep forest.
The forest of life,
Full of surprises.
A glorious day it will be,
If they make it happen.
Ocean Blue Jul 2014
You small green shining ball
Sweet or sour will you be?
If I eat you, will you make me tall?
To bring the moon beneath my feet!
If I leave you will you hate my soul?
And throw my love to dark eternity?
Ocean Blue Feb 2016
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.
Ocean Blue Oct 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Dec 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Mar 2015
... 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.
Alas, we do not control love...
Ocean Blue May 2016
I can read in your mind
Like in an open book.
... though I never know what
Is written on the next page.
Ocean Blue Oct 2015
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.
God Bless You
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
Last night
I asked to the moon
If she would still want me.
She replied very soon
That she's not used
To deal with cases like me.
But she whispered
That if I wished
I could
Lift mountains.

Ocean Blue Oct 2014
It is time,
Madame,
To show your neck
To the blade
And tonight
To lose your head.
In memory of Marie Antoinette, who was beheaded
Ocean Blue Jun 2016
... 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.
Ocean Blue Jan 2015
... 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.
Ocean Blue Sep 2014
A few nights
After it happened,
During that sad winter,
She told him
A dream she had
The night before:
The One
Was standing near the hole
That was already
His forever home.
She tried to take his hand
To bring him back
Amongst the ones
Who were crying for him,
When a huge dog,
A black and silent shape,
Appeared out of nowhere
And
Prevented her to approach
Any further.
She could do nothing else
Than witnessing
The One
Going down into the hole
And lying there
In the garden of Eden
Quietly
Where he is still sleeping.
I wish I had this dream.
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
Keep your words
Made of honey
For Later
When we are together.
Now for me it's enough
Just to know
That you are there.
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
Running on the roof of the world,
Pushing further the limits of the breathing,
Singing and thinking of your smile,
Greeting the idea that you are mine,
Knowing that life is just starting,
Feeling the pulse of your heart,
Being indestructible,
And smiling at tomorrow's sunshine.
Ocean Blue Jul 2015
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 ?
Ocean Blue Oct 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Jul 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Aug 2015
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.
Ocean Blue Feb 2016
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.
Ocean Blue Jan 2015
A few drops
Of happiness in life
Build new hopes
And the will for strife.
Here they are
The sunrays
On the altar
Giving shape to
The promises
Of a singing tomorrow.
Ocean Blue Aug 2015
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.

Ocean Blue Dec 2014
<3

I know Someone,
Who lives across the Ocean,
Whose beautiful face
In my memory slowly fades.
But after I hear her voice,
- You might say this is hopeless -
It gives me no other choice,
All night to remain sleepless.
Hey, don't go back to the Blue
My Delightful Pain,
'Cause I can't stop loving You,
Again and Again...


<3
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
One night full of stars,
During the last summer
You broke my prison bars
In a dream which is carved in me forever:
Standing on the shore of River Jordan,
You baptized me
With a name that says who I am:
Ocean Blue.
And to life I was brought by You.
Ocean Blue Aug 2014
He did not know
That his first move
Would lead him there
With up and downs
Cold winds sometimes
And warming sun rays.
He did not know
He went the hard way
The north face
Of human feelings
To reach the summit.
But a tiny voice tells him
It is worth
Using that way.
Ocean Blue Jan 2015
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
How would I hate such a loving person anyway?
Ocean Blue Sep 2014
Here they are
The knights of the truth
Riding their books
Of fairy tales
Here they come
To the house of secrets
The wizards of Lachaux
With their whispers
She can hear
From across the fields
The fields of gold
One day will be cropped
By her
If she wishes so.
A question of choices  :)
Ocean Blue Oct 2014
We don't know
How many pages
It has until now
Or whether it will go for ages.
With four hands and keyboards
We have laid there
Our soul, our dreams, our odds,
Our memories, our hopes, our words.
Now, saddly I am alone
To smith sentences on the paper
And for us, to draw colors of the rainbow.
So, if you feel, come and join me
Back to our book, dreaming a common history.
Ocean Blue Jan 2015
Things will be okay
Just give me your hand
I will take you
Through the dust
And the noise and the fire
And the madness
Of the weeping city
Trust me and
Follow me
I will lead you
To the silent harbor
Of painless eternity.
