Premium MemberYou Too Will Go

You too will go
In wake of time
When I have lost
Rhythm and rhyme
When beauty is
No longer mine
Again mortal
And not divine
It’s just the way 
The way of life
What fascinates
Will lose its glow
And this sad truth
I surely know
Like all others
Down this long line
Who found me sweet
But for a time
You too will go

You too will go
When all my words
No longer fill
And written lines
No longer thrill
When what I write
Is seen as stale
Nothing
No nothing will prevail
You too will go

You too will go
Like you have gone
Some time before
For others that
You did adore
When wonder fades
And skies turn grey
When darkness crowds
The light of day
You too will go
And I will stay
Yes, I will stay
Left here to pray
For LOVE to come

Premium MemberDream, Translation of Paul Verlaine's Poem: Reve

Dream

I give up writing poetry !
I’m going to be rich tomorrow.
I’d rather others took over the tow :
Who wishes ! Who wishes my double to be ?

Worthwhile endeavour, I dare testify :
Long hours given to the promenade
While attempting to rhyme a ballade,
I spent late nights and far away did lie.

Under a lucid and clear moon,
The bridges insidiously glowed,
The waters’ waves graciously flowed.
Paris : gay as a cemetery’s gloom.

All this good fortune, I renounce
And I bequeath to the Young my lyre !
Children ! To my delirium be the heir.
Me, I inherit the seductor’s mantle at once.
