L'Etrangere

Ma langue française n'est pas assez bonne pour 
te dire ce que je veux tellement à dire. 
Les mots sont nécessaires pour tout l'amour, 
surtout pour le français: il va tiédir 
sans confessions très chaudes. Les belles paroles 
dédiées à ta beauté et les mots doux 
entre bisous allument l’aureole 
heureuse autour d'une tête de fille. C'est d'où 
vont mes problèmes: au lieu d'apprendre les 
langues étrangères, j'étais un étranger 
sans carte, une terre sans lune, un dieu hâlé 
sans ciel et sans souci, mais après je
t'ai rencontrée… 
                          Je suis seule à blamer 
que je t'aime mais je peux pas être aimé.

(fr.) The stranger
My French is not good enough to tell you what I want so much to tell. Words are necessary for any love, especially for the French one: it gets cold without hot confessions. The lovely words dedicated to your beauty and the sweet nothings between kisses light up the halo of happiness around a girl's head. This is where my problems come from: instead of learning foreign languages, I was a stranger without a map, an earth without a moon, a tanned careless god without heaven, but then I met you… I'm the only one to blame that I love you but I can't be loved.

Wow. I loved this. Yet it was sad. I read it not once but 4 x's. A truly moving thought captured, and kept the whole way. Ann

Kurt, J'aime les mots simples façonnés ici et comment ils jouent un tour passionné sur la page, avec le prisme d'un amant laissé dans le désir. -Richard

I bet your trip was magical. Once I was promised that in my next life I would be born on the shores of the Bay of Biscay) Thank you, Kim.

The depths and beauty in this new poem, tho' composed in a language that I understand some of (by way of a one year French language class in high school 1968) is a marvelous poetic tribute to romance/love and the wonders of the human soul. A gem, a fav and a great pleasure to have found and to have read this morn my friend!
