Celui qui n'a pas de cœur
Ne doit jamais reposer en paix

He who has no heart
Will never rest in peace


J’étais Charlie

De ma tombe
Mon âme pleure encore rouge
L’encre coule encore
Arrosage des fleurs ci-dessus
Les fleurs, fortes et belles
Elles doivent étouffer vos manières diaboliques
J'étais Charlie, je...

"Captive Deep Blue Je Reviens"





I walk beside you 
in your dreams,
you are always in me

twin heart, 
burning bright flame,

captive deep blue je reviens

I stand with you, invisible 
we are haunting 
the deserted 
French vanilla streets, 
where time...

Fall snow fall,
Over the moaning Paris’ ground,
Let your descending snowflakes a

wakes …

of carnage
widen behind me
shimmering horizon of hope
and prospect
(and falsehood)
now turned cold, dank, dim -
faceless and wan
my poison and err has tainted

Summer skies of shadowed veil 
Leave soft evening cries as twilight pales
Flirting eyes and open looks give sweet spoken ties
Random smiles tell of well placed replies
Yes , hold my hand it softly caresses 
Come closer it says as it softly traces
Je t’aime , feel my...

Please note this is written in Dactyl Verse and not Double Dactyl

Charlie je suis, Charlie je suis
Je suis Charlie
Freedom is us
Freedom of speech
No to violence 

Twenty-five killed, twenty-five killed
Twenty-five dead
Extremism in void
No to maniacs
Profane false prophets 

Zealots must die, zealots must die
Zealots begone
Fanaticism must end

I was my hands of it all, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Je m’en lave les mains by T. Wignesan


And what could we have done in his place
Who in this century would dare to judge him
he belongs to you and you are me-myself
A tiny cogwheel
An average...

I know, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s poem : Je sais by T. Wignesan

I have seen upon this earth the gangrene of mass graves
I have seen the sky foul up with human ashes
I have watched the breath of superb beings
Mist over with their blood the universe...

Let me bring ya’ll back to what it once was.
That sweet, Gumbo flavor on the tip of your tongue.
We had The Meters, Chocolate Milk, and Fats Domino.
Louie Armstrong and the Irma Thomas Show.

We had music, spirit, and our traditional dance.
Trumpets...
