Quatrain Tranquil Eyes

Poet, Rich of my quiet cherry trees,
Of my peaceful lilacs like pink stones,
Rich in my willows in ardent prayer, prose,
I can finally think of your tranquil eyes.


Poète, Riche de mes cerisiers tranquilles,
De mes lilas paisibles comme des pierres roses,
Riche de mes saules en ardente prière, prose,
Je peux enfin penser à tes yeux tranquilles.






inspired by french poet Paul Verlaine

The eyes are the window to the soul, my friend. A lovely poem in two languages, I impressed. Having tranquil eyes says a lot about a person, and they are beautiful. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Yann. A poet friend in Texas, Bill
