white pulp

We all need sun, O white pulp
Pineapple and soft light, mango
Me first, then the policeman, then Solène,
We need a long Brazilian nap,
in Bahia or on the fine sand of Copacabana.

The tanned skins are full of secrets,
Vitamins, pulp and sunsets 
The tanned skins know our defects,
The erotic dreams, you liked so much,
I pray my Sweet that the time amazes you,

We all need sun, O white pulp
Pineapple and soft light, mango
Lyonnais as Parisians with glasses, need it
Acidulous slowness and charming apricots,
Come on, friend, let’s go to Brazil.





On a tous besoin de soleil, O blanche pulpe
D’ananas et de lumière douce, de mangue
Moi le premier et le gendarme, puis Solène,
On a besoin d’une longue sieste brésilienne,
à Bahia ou sur le sable fin de Copacabana.

Les peaux tannées sont remplies de secrets,
De vitamines, de pulpe et de couchers de soleil 
Les peaux tannées connaissent nos défauts,
Les songes érotiques , vous ont tant plu,
Je prie ma Douce que le temps vous étonne,

On a tous besoin de soleil, O blanche pulpe
D’ananas et de lumière douce, de mangue
Les lyonnais comme les parisiennes à lunettes,
De lenteurs acidulées et de charmants abricots,
Viens l’amie, embarquons pour le Brésil.

Very nicely, Yann. I'd love to get some sun right about now, but here in New Jersey it's about 30 degrees and freezing (lol) Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hugs Charlie

Yes we all need sun. That's so true. I got a lot of it in my younger years. Probably too much of it. My skin doesn't even tan really well. Now I don't lay out any more. I get my skin checked by a doctor every year. Haha

Your love for the sun can be felt through this well written poem dear yann, for me its always sun here, but somedays it gets too sunny, and we long for some rain too. Love the creative way you’ve written this which gives also a very melodious flow to the poem! Pleasure reading you always. Sending you light always

the sun, i think don't make the beauty of the country, but it helps the mind to be in a different mood, i know Norway is a beautiful country, family traveled there, thank you so much for stopping by
