Best Mon Poems

He rides laughter like he owns it
exclamation marks
exhileration online

Mon chevalier galant
who uses music for shield
pen for glaive

Who writes warmth
through cold white days
and sometimes silence

He'll walk out of his books
mon d'Artagnan
to conquer me...

... he thinks. But has forgotten
que je me suis rendu 
il y a longtemps

now ...

dance for me …
eyes of polished onyx pierce
me like the keen edge of a scalpel,
deftly wielded ...
the blood of my black
heart flowing in and around you,
warm and welcomed to your
wings and wants ...
the aspiration of our spirits -
charged air between us as still as...

My love, I cherish
Your words
Your thoughts
Your soft lips

My love
I cherish the walks
The soft winds of fall
le jardin, L'eau

The flowers in bloom
The cafes and cloudy skies
Madeleine, columns of the past
Your eyes, holding on, to the last

The streets so vibrant, your touch at my side
And as we...

Oh, my…oh…my sad heart’s bang on broke,
Bidding adieu, to my lover, a sweet bloke.
A tall, brunette sailor, going back to the sea.
In duress, I moaned, what’s to become of me?

Without his eyes, the deep color of the sea.
And his tanned ,muscular arms to encircle me.
I...

WHOA!!!
I say loudly
As she passed me by
Girl,
You look like Marilyn Monroe
Glamorous through my eyes
Her shirt was black
With spaghetti straps
And a white tee underneath
Tight beige pants
Turning heads, causing cramps
I hear someone grinding teeth

OH, 
That's me!!!!!

Un poème pour mon pays

Chère patrie

Le berceau de races
Vous êtes parmi les nombreuse
Avec une grande diversité de vue 
Dans ce mulâtre des langues occidentales

Oh grand triangle!
Tu te lèves et te couches
Comme les marées océaniques
Dans ce beau paysage
En patois et en cultures

Dis-moi que tu n'es pas...

S'il vous plaît nous 
laisser seuls déjà
Nous en avons assez de vous
Vous avez consacré votre temps 
à nous harceler
Veuillez simplement nous 
laisser tranquilles maintenant
Vous avez fait tout son 
pour nous intimider
Votre obsession avec moi
est dangereuse
Veuillez simplement nous 
laisser seuls
Surtout s'il vous plaît laisse 
mes enfants...

My Second Vow 


What I see when I look at your face
Is a reason for believing 
And in your eyes, the hope I find
Is what my heart is cleaving
There is no right or wrong
'Cause the future is elusive 
But our love, Is always strong
Though sometime...

A true friendship is the place you go home to
When peace you cannot find. 
It keeps a part of your soul
And is never far from your mind.
A true friend will forever forgive you 
And never count how many times. 
They will teach you how to...

My Recurrent Dream, Translation of Paul Verlaine's Sonnet : Mon Rêve Familier

I'm often subject to a strange and invasive dream
Of an elusive woman whom I love, and who loves me  
And who at every encounter might not the same be
Nor altogether another be, yet...

I once had a friend in College,
who was a young man named Fred.
He had a funny crazy habit,
of making certain utterances in French,
to pretty girls he hoped to conquer.
One day he met his match in a lady,
who disgraced him without intention.
On that day, he walked...

Me posséder ? Non, je ne me permets pas
     L’amour que les autres connaissent,
Car j’ai épousé une cause:
     Je me prive de tous loisirs...

In Scotland the reindeer arrived at a canter
And Rudolph gave Santa some humorous banter
His outfit was red
But sat on his head
A bright ginger wig and an old Tam O’ Shanter
