You’ll be a man tomorrow, child, yes,
If you respect animals and pristine nature,
If you don’t kill elephants for ivory,
If you don’t kill the whales for soap,

You’ll be a man if you can stop time
If you...

When the sun hangs low
by scarlet-threaded silk, 
you'll find my soul
waltzing in the womb of woodland
like a viking warrior, 
where I'm rooted ~ 
beyond decaying diamonds, 
as life unfolds a watercolor symphony
falling from the canopy...

The most beautiful girls,
Are those we imagine to love,
The ones we would like to invite to the restaurant
To drink champagne and grands crus,

The most beautiful girls, I know some,
Are the ones we imagine loving you,
They...

Love, aimer,amar,salang,called by many names was a myth to me before you…
Many such as my exits might deny it…
But if love is waking up to sweet sound of a ding on my phone…

It was a love that spoke for itself,
as natural as a poem
which grows in a flower
at the end of its rod.
without ever having confessed it,
I have never conjugated the verb to love.

I need  just before dawn to feel the slopes, love them,
The smell of mint or anise, gentian or orange,
I need to walk to look for ghosts, invisible ones
My parents gone, my wife with quiet...

Since everything makes sense, I think,
What are the stars for?
It’s up to us to observe them,
To imagine why they shine,

Are they there, to make us dream?
To make us think, or write
For us to measure distances
Which...

Let’s not make this so little mistake,
We don’t have to agree with Marie or Catherine,
To love a girl, she has other assets,
Her tantalizing lipstick, I think so much of her,

We don’t have to agree with...

Of the people we hated,
We end up loving them,
I’m talking about movie actors
That I wouldn’t quote,
By Jacky Berroyer too,

I certainly don’t speak
Murderers, rapists,
I certainly don’t talk about it,
Thieves, dictators,
Bad guys, pedophiles,
No one likes them.

Oh words, open your gates and relish my thoughts
Without your shoulder, my walks are crippled
You are the might and the sight of the mind
Without you, we are just vacant glitters.
Every phantasm of emotions I create
Without...

I asked the blackbird at morning,
two plus two?
He began to sing,
Then I asked the robin
Three times three?
He began to sing,
I asked the cuckoo, 
conjugate the verb "Love" to me in the future,
He began to sing,

subjective oppression or pressure
those days which are intense
they build or make you lesser
yet both leave their indents

I dream of the flames and your soul, bright
I was scared for your persecution.
You were wrapped in God, and light,
But He never caught me...
