Waterloo

Partir c'est mourir un peu..

Att skiljas är att dö en smula.
Av barn, fyllon och dårar får man höra sanningen.
Det är bäst att bita i det sura äpplet.
Den dagen, den sorgen.


The Story Begins

I remember long ago of night time kisses
Full of desire and apprehension, that you would disperse
You proclaimed your love, into my ear
I slept alone, the brisk cold hiding my fear

I would talk of dreams and foreign places
You begged me to go on and fulfill your dreams
Grand Manier nights , sad morning rays
Long gone was my love with golden hair

Daniel was not her lover
Under starry nights she held him close
I was nothing more than a friendly stranger
That he adored, and the son I never had

St Adolph would be my tormentor
On horses we rode in blankets of snow
Towards our destinies apart
Our fireplace of passion, we soon would depart

Like the brothers of Seville
I too was caught between two worlds
She would leave my heart in the cold of the rivers edge
From this day I became one of the walking dead

Nicely written Arthur. You did not deserve such an uncouth comment from that individual below. One question: The "Grand Manier nights" you have in your second verse. Are you referrring to the French orange-flavored liquer? If so, then it is spelled "Grand Marnier".

This is exceptional Arthur. I had to read it more than once. It leaves me somewhat confused in the most delightful way. Bravo!

This is a strong poem here , I'm trying to understand it all , French I know a little of , I'm unsure about the other language , It seems Germanic in part .

Sorry, Maybe I should have put those lines at the end. They were simply some proverbs or expressions that influenced what I wrote. -- Partir c'est mourir un peu.. Att skiljas är att dö en smula. Both in French and Swedish, means, to seperate is to die a little ---

"Johhny that was rude, I admire this poet, petty jealousies have no place here" Well done Arthur this is outstanding as expected from you....Seren
