J'ai appris que jamais, les anges ne mentent

Car tout ce qui est faux, emprisonne nos âmes

Loin d'un ciel bien trop haut, dans un destin infame 

Lié au sort mauvais, que la tristesse hante

        

Si tes mots s'effilochent dans...

Well, to be born…Translation of Pierre Emmanuel’s Or d’etre ne… by T. Wignesan

Now to be flesh of a man and a woman
All my life I will long for that
Without any hope of being re-born, being born
Of an absent father and a demented mother
Both the names...

The women is a storm-

she gets and she gores,

just before she warms,

because the the women is a storm...

Her lips are her pours,

her hips really should warn,
every sorry sore-

unabashed like the man in his core,
thinking he is the war......

I see mystery hidden in the depth of his eyes
In the very soul of this being so worldly wise

With his rugged demeanour, his understandable speech
His winsome smile and his attitude so serene

I look at his whole so meticulously infused
His golden eyes glimmer saddened abuse

Yet this...

April is lovely
another Texas Springtime comes
bluebonnet blanket

July arrives hot
humidity without rain
honeysuckle scent

October slips in
with a mere hint of Autumn
chrysanthemum blooms

January burrr!
blue northers blast frigid air
chance of snow tonight...

Fattened and fattened,he became gigantic
His nails so sharp,like the rodents
The belly you may think,a full pregnancy
And the coughing,my father’s son difficult

Years haven’t gone much
Before marrying selfish woman
Who walks shaking clumsily
Like she got another job,yet my brother

Before dad disappeared to nowhere,and mother
Slowly depleting her prowess
My brother...

Can't quite put my finger
on the actual ingredients,
 but I know it's you by
the flavorful residue.
Sometimes I cannot
hear everything you say
but I'm in tune with
your mouthful of subtle
affirmations
All of your yeses
has me attentively listening
As if my ears were stethoscopes
and I was prescribed
to give your heart...

En suivant le fil allongé de l'attirance pour elle,
Je me mis à une randonnée cherchante en dépit du ciel bas.
Tout à coup, il faisait de l'orage. La pluie torrentielle
Et le courant d'air houleux comme de frustrants fatras, 
Tout au dépourvu me surprirent en chemin.
De tout...

Walking through the night,
darkness everywhere around. 
Tomoshibi ne,
Hidden in mist, lights my way. 
Lost soul, last night, dark is night...
