The sheets yet to cool and the sun yet
to rise, I've already practiced an easy
goodbye– but seeing you wreathed in
sheets, sleepy, pleased, feels unkind when
you're just a dream I have sometimes.

He doesn't see past the horizon of his life
He doesn't indulge in the myth of the hereafter
He doesn't believe he is worthy of such a notion
He doesn't make it a habit to put pen to paper

But with her...

He envisions the future like he's lived it before
He sings of his plans that span several lifetimes
He romanticises his thoughts as soon as they're conceived
He converses in paintings and writes only in rhymes

Eyes have vision
Mind decisive
Words bear meaning
Actions hardly furtive

Body is hale
And legs could carry
Resolution never stronger
But heart remains a liability
.
The hardest of men bear the softest of hearts.

Tu es mon horizon
Mais juste pour dire
Ne me fais pas faux bond
La vie est un jeu
Si je tire
Tu seras hors jeu
la trahison est exclue
Alors vice ou vertu?
Trop ****
Je t'ai dans mon viseur
en ligne de mir
Je m'alignes
et t'allumes
un, deux...Fire

caro royer
Duel de l'âme
entre clair et obscur
Clair de lune
sous la voûte étoilée
éclairant l'obscurité
de nos vies
les ténèbres se révèlent
à la faveur de la lumière
Noir et blanc
Complément-air
Terre
Ether
et Univers
Symbole d'Unité
Retrouvée
Ying et Yang
réuni dans une danse sans fin
Danse des âmes
s'accordant
se révélant
dans la fusion mystique
Musique des sphères
s'accordant
sur les rythmes de l'Univers
Noir et Blanc

In my darkest dream,
I'm wearing sunglasses at night
while I drive...
a phantom flying down freeways

During my journey I spot
Matthew McConaughey
in his glistening Lincoln chariot -
a smug smile vanishing
from his famous face
as I speed by
on my breathless trek

I will not be surpassed
or surprised
or stifled
by any mega rich superstar
or anyone else in motion...
my eyes unblinking
as I race with frightening intensity
on this endless stretch of highway

I sense that people in power
are impressed with my arrogance
and every dewy-eyed starlet
in Hollywood
falls apart at the sight
of me
masked dramatically
in my striking shades -
my music blasting
my foot on the accelerator
my destination a well kept secret

I have an image now to uphold
so splendid
so masterful
perfectly illuminated
by the glow
of a brilliant
desert moon
lighting my way
toward a golden promised land
