Ode To My Daughter
I confided with The Jeweler
I want a masterpiece
A wonder to the modern world
Where joy will never cease

He said he’d start with umber
A rich, golden shade of brown
use it from the very start
create a special crown

Next, sparkle from His diamonds
He used them from within
Distributed them quite...

On Turning Sixteen
On Turning Sixteen

At sixteen seconds you cried
And so did I 

At sixteen minutes 
I held you and you held me
by the heart

At sixteen hours 
We were heading home
and our family now 
numbered four

At sixteen days 
Our family was conflicted
Our little man now had a
problem; daddy...

Atonement
Youngest of all she went unnoticed.
 So beautifully cultured but shy a motive.

  So talented, so loved;
   And above her the beaut world evolved.

     To Cecilia and Robbie 'twas their spring.
       But...

Consequences
Je suis toujours la meme personne
Pour t'avouer cela m'etonne
Etre gentil c'est du passe
Je vais devoir changer

Se soucier du monde
Etre present pour eux chaque seconde
je ne veux plus de cela
ceci n'est pas fait pour moi

A la fin tout le monde t'oublie
ils reviennent seulement en cas de...

La capitale est Dakar. deux millions de gens habitent en Dakar. Dakar est su pour musuems.

a shooting star
Tell you this again,
When you see
A shooting star,
Someone loves you,

Someone tells you
“Eat chocolates”
Offer jewelry,
Think of me, then,

Pineapple flavors,
Mango flavors,
On a distant island
There is happiness,

Tell you this again
When you see
A shooting star,
There’s someone who loves you.




Dites-vous ceci,
Quand vous voyez
Une étoile filante,
Quelqu’un vous aime,

Quelqu’un vous dit
Mangez des...

little conversation with Paul Eluard great french poet
No, my friend Paul, it’s not about saying everything,
And we do not lack time,
But the point is to say what you love, to love what you say,
Like a saxophone solo in a New York club,

To say that there are people who have heart, to say...

This Is Not a Pipe
This is not a pipe
I can see that
No bite, or burn, marks
It’s just a piece of art
Nothing you can get a grip on

A pipe is made for smoking
I keep mine stored away, haven’t used them for a long time
I remember a pipe, stuffed with gunpowder...

Ce N'Est Pas Une Sortie:
sorry to say but you know the way

que les choses viennent voler à vous

like glass shattering upon hitting a tree

tout en volant très rapidement afin dans votre voiture

slamming into a tree & just barely

vous traîner en sortir vivant.

 

what you do know is this: ...
