Du Poems

l'appel du vide

A void within me calls
wanting only what I've never had,
but I've always seen.
The taste of a possession so illegal,
It's to die for.
as literal and figurative 
as the jaws of the idea itself
surrounding and consuming me.

Oh, I've seen it.

The ecstasy of true bliss
multiplied only their best moments.
The promise of nostalgia
and a feeling of home. 
An easiness

Premium MemberFin du Monde



For years I refused to drink beer, any beer, 
awful stuff to my taste. When I did, though,
rare as it was, it was only to  “fit in” – and to 
avoid snide and unflattering remarks from
friends when I didn’t..

Beer has a long history reaching back to
the days of the pharoahs. Even the artisans 
who

du Maurier

The door opens,
but I am not the new Mrs. de Winter,
just an awkward shadow slipping into normalcy,
where words are thicker than hardcovers—
silence clinging like dust to the spines
of books with torn out pages. 

I wander,
but do not answer.
The air is full of Maxim’s secrets,
dreadful weights of things unsaid—
longings for something that has 
slipped through time.

A

A cockroach did some backstrokes in Clyde's soup

   He was quite alarmed and thrown for a loop

      The waiter said no sweat

         Sir, there's no need to fret

Nachdenke bevor du redst!

Denn wenn ich entscheid ne nachricht zu schreib,
hat es eine absicht für meinen abtuptem sein,
,,Wie solln die das denn jetzt wissn?"
Gute frage du sagst, denkste ich habs nicht selber mal gefragt?!
Denn ich hass es selbst das ich die taste drück,
manchmal komm ich schroff durch die haut der leute wie eine mück.
Aber ich wollt doch nur

Au profondeur du Coeur qui aime

Je t’aime
La mélodie
Elle l’a jouée précise
Son cœur lui permet
De vous l’admettre
La vie, elle la voix si belle
L’amitié vous devrez la voir en elle
Vous ne la traitez pas bien
Vous lui donnerez du chagrin
Plus precieuse encore
Mes bras lui rend du comfort
Sans ennuies
Elle prie
Elle vous pardonne
Elle ne déteste personne
Si vous pouvez voir si loin
Tendresse de sa main
Ses larmes
Epargne
Brave

Sonnet 09: L'empreinte Du Destin

Devrais-je feindre l'ignorance pour cacher mes sentiments, 
Ou devrais-je vraiment m'en soucier, incapable de feindre? 
Tant de courage pour affronter l'inconnu, 
Pourtant muet devant elle, le cœur en peine.

Qui est-elle, demandez-vous, avec ce sourire éclatant, 
Oui, elle en effet, une vision si divine, 
Dans le couloir, je l'ai contemplée un moment, 
Avec des cheveux comme

My brother, it’d snowed so much
That the Sun had died.

For a better Society

“La fin du monde” 

The fragrance 
that makes you pop
in all the best places

no need for bikini
nude etat liberte
un amourette

Eau de Protection
holy water ad libitum

Premium MemberWhat Do I Have To Offer Someone - Inspired By Kim Du Puis

I’ve been single for all of my life,
But not because I wanted to be.
I’ve always wanted to be a wife,
But it just hasn’t happened for me.

I look at others who are married
And often wonder how they got there.
It’s not that I have to be carried,
But I do want someone who will care.

What do I have

Premium MemberI Am Defined By Only Me - Inspired By Kim Du Puis

My life as a woman is not defined by being married,
Nor is it defined by me being a wife.
I hope that I’m remembered long after I’m dead and buried
And for WHO I was and HOW I lived my life.
