La Marseillaise - Edith Piaf
Written in conjunction with Tim Smith, see his poem at:
Death - Take me Now
Notes: Both Poems by Tim and myself were inspired by the passing of the actress Madeleine Lebeau
May 15, 2016 from BBC News
French actress Madeleine Lebeau, the last surviving cast member of the classic 1942 film Casablanca, has died at the age of 92, her family says.
Just of Interest as the both Madeleine Lebeau's story and the movie Casablanca have so much intertwined with the World War 2, France and the USA thought this photo was interesting, a joint stamp issue from France and USA
Death – Remember me Tomorrow
Votre amour est tout ce que j'implore
Angels took us from France's shores
To the promised land of lady liberty
Hollywood glitter enticing us lovers with mystery
Living the past in a cinematic telling
Ironic that love was sourly spurned
By Bogart’s charming quilted misgivings
Madeline, later would sadly sing
La Marseillaise, while lovers embrace
Paris after dark, they disappear with no trace
Trains to death and boats to freedom
As Casablanca tells of romantic tales
Je suis vieux, est je suis seul
The beautiful one misses the past and you
All the ships have sailed and gone
It’s the cemetery now where I rest under lawn
