Best Serai Poems
My One and Unique RoseVous croyez que la joie n'existe pas
Croyez moi elle est bien la
Il faut profiter des moments de plaisir
Et les occasions de bonheur il faut les saisir
Car ils ne dureront pas pour l'éternité
C'est malheureusement la triste réalité
T'avoir connu pendant toutes ces années
Avoir pu être a tes...

Field of the WhiteLost in a vertical field
Stretched over a wire,
Cut into a shape,
Hanging on wet folds ...
The sun moves and dazzled me,
... I'll be drunk by the white
Cleared to everyone eyes,
Already waving, and pushed by the wind,
Until going out of the canvas,
And thus losing my shadow.

ConsequencesJe 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...

Jew #3I know somewhere before I die I must see you again
And take your hands in mine, and let you touch my lips
With joy. Sometimes in wild torrents, sometimes in drips
Memory comes here naked in the broken light of pain
Sometimes I say serai, serai; sometimes I...

Verse
Untitled 3walking down trodden paths
craving peace
diluted, tepid, watered-down peace
etched lines on weather-beaten faces
craving release
final, open, unfettered release
crawling through today
seeking simple moments of silence
quiet, hushed, un-spoken silence
where will this road lead?
a dungeon of momentary respite
a hovel of worn-down exhaustion
where will this road lead?
from yesterday's torment
to today's promise
from...

Wake me upWake me up, when I’m dead,
I want to see New York again
And climb into the Empire State Building,
I want to see the Metropolitan Museum again
See again his archaeological museum.
Wake me up, when I’m dead,
I want to see the big whales again
On the long island road,
I...
