Best Vous Poems

       ***Le Minuit Avec Vous***
           The Midnight With You


To have a sensual repast with thee,
Upon a midnight, beneath our beloved
Oakwood tree!
Whenst the world, not a sound doth make.
Just lovers lips heard, smacking of
heavenly, baked earthen cakes.

Natures gift in the shape of her vine
Planted with care, line after line
By the grace of our sun
Their growth has begun
In ripeness below her sunshine

We harvest her grapes, turned to wine
Growers experiences, know her signs
From her graft to their trade
In the grape is it's grade
Maturity...

Proud people of the Haitian Ile,
Stand firm with head held high.
Though days may last for a while,
The world has begun to hear your cry.

Le monde ecoute les voix criant;
On voit et meme se sent votre douleur.
Avec vous, on est priant. 
Avec vous, aussi on pleure....

Rappelez-Vous
(English translation below original French)

Rappelez-vous les petits fils 
Qui ecoutaient leurs grand-peres
Raconter des histoires d’ infanteries 
Et de battailles de la premiere guerre.

Rappelez-vous des braves garcons 
Qui s’imaginaient etre des soldats,
Qui plus tard servaient le drapeau American 
En tant que veritables soldats.

Rappelez-vous des pauvres parents
Qui...

a subtle hum
something moves, not physical
gravity bends my center 
i can feel my face blush
sense my pupils open
if a stare enough
a warmth starts to grow inside
my thoughts racing
nothing could satisfy 
only drawing in air between us
closing distance
holding close
holy knows
heat from your body
I remember 
even if...

I'm having trouble with
The voices in my head
While I speak simple english
They speak fluent french
So I never really know
Just what is being said
Which makes it hard to understand
The voices in my head

I never know exactly 
What it is that I should say
Did I arrive at...

I pushed the red button
The one that said don't push the red button
And ended up on the other side
Of something out of nothing

I was in another world
Another space and time
Where I appeared to see what looked like me
As I, me, and mine all intertwined

My guess...

We lucky people with ADD, 
Sometimes seeming not-all-there, mais oui,
At catastrophe, leave folks in awe,
With our Arc-de-Triomphe-esque sangfroid....

Terror takes its toll. Revenge makes humanity bleed - profusely. An elegy breaks the eerie silence. Sneaking suspicion fills the air. Wary eyes searches beliefs in the heaps of flesh and blood. Ransacked hope seeks refuge in your heart.

- Premonition
A mirage foreseen,
Glimpsed in my rear-view mirror...
Closer than perceived.

- Envisioned
I've seen you before,
In silhouette, confident...
Waiting for someone.

- Remembered
Picking at a thread,
Not quite a memory, but...
Still in my conscious.

- Forgotten
Returning often,
To the day I first saw you...
Like in a vision.

.....Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring...

Oh desire,
Somewhere in Paris
My heart confessed insatiable hankering
For love's fevered avenues of splendor!

Money is, no doubt, a necessity in our world
To enjoy it requires planning, discipline and toil
Apply mind, a balance, and working hands 
Recall time, opportunity in the wind, blows like sand

Perseverance and hard work, a definite decision
Contemplate in advance for a long term acquisition
With self-indulgence,...

I'm getting all excited
I don't know what to do.
I'm going to meet some people,
some people who are new

I'm sure it will be grand
and we'll have a smashing time.
It's all to do with poetry
and stuff that doesn't rhyme

It's 60 miles to get there,
give or take a...

Parlez Vous

The French may say merci beacoup
Je ne sais quoi and parlez vous
It’s not the words that turn me on
It’s something else – somewhat beyond
They’re avart garde; like film noir
Haute cuisine; a Peugeot car
It’s not the things they like I seek
It’s not the way the...
