Ma Best Friend Is My Car

I hope my car starts tomorrow,
That I can leave my street Charles de Foucault,
That I can go write a poem, or almost,
I love walking an hour in the fresh countryside.

I hope that I can cross the bridge, the harbor,
To buy milk, port and natural fruits,
That I can leave my city for a few hours,
I love to think of you, in the silence of the countryside.

I hope my car starts tomorrow, 
That I can go to the cinema to see a Romanian film,
That I can go flower Mom’s grave, 
You see, I’m nothing without my car.













Pourvu que ma voiture démarre demain,
Que je puisse quitter ma rue Charles de Foucauld,
Que je puisse aller écrire un poème, ou presque
J’aime marcher une heure dans la fraiche campagne.

Que je puisse aller traverser le pont, la rade,
Pour acheter du lait, du porto et des fruits naturels,
Que je puisse quitter ma ville quelques heures,
j’aime penser à toi, dans le silence de la campagne.

Pourvu que ma voiture démarre demain,
Que je puisse aller au cinéma voir un film roumain,
Que je puisse aller fleurir la tombe de maman, 
Voyez-vous, je ne suis rien sans ma voiture.

OVA Di Lait I Dance In the Dark

Open parade skies blue where R you;
Father love only hurts when it's not honest;
Come closer B in the truth;
Promenade
Dance under the clouds
Over the light
Darkness flees
As I shine bright as nova;
Each step I take closer and closer
Hallelujah
OVA Di Lait I Dance In the Dark
Each step I take closer and closer
Hallelujah

Sonnet of the Night

Ringing in the stars with harmonies of night 
no greater sonnet ever was then that of 
midnight hues of moody blues and acorn light 
oh blessed breath forsake me not thereof 
no splendor greater then this evening glow 
has ever touched my brow or curved my smile 
I long to stitch this memory with songs of flow   
then wear it like a crown while I compile 
a sonnet of great beauty by a sway 
as worthy as the dusk that falls upon 
a willow bark of deep cafe au lait 
oh blessed breath enfold me til' the dawn 
has blushed my reverie and seized my day 
enwrapping with gauze and morning ray.

Premium Member Paris By Day

Paris by night is gay,
I prefer Paris by day
I love the ambience and style,
French fashion stands out a mile,
From all the others in that trade,
The best designs are Parisienne made.
The French have flair beyond compare,
I praise the food and savoir-faire
Visiting a French bakery
For cafe au lait, gateau or tea,
Little bistros are a treat,
Place where young lovers meet.
Romance in Paris Ooh La La,
For love, one does not need to look far.
Couples walking hand in hand,
It could be just a one night stand.
The French love to love, so they say,
Even if it lasts for just one day.
The feeling of romance is everywhere,
Strains of music in the air.
People reading while sipping wine,
The atmosphere is simply divine.
The lake shimmers like glass
As children's toy yachts come bobbing past.
I have lost all sense of time, as I'm
Captured by the contentment on the faces
Of people of different ages and races
Enjoying their day,
In their way.

Premium Member SPARKLE-

silence shines so brightly i'm blind;
closed mouth can't to be fed;
lose yet untied;
floating spirit flies;

more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;
more than a lover;
more than a cover;
the heart speaks aloud;

standing in inside related to the clouds;
i shine
i rose, i rise
i her light
from my father's eyes

more than angel;
more than a voice a singer;

more than a lover;
more than a cover;
the heart speaks aloud;
standing in inside related to the clouds;
i shine
i rose, i rise
i her light.  Related to for example i shine
i silence ever shown bright
sparkle—

Shape-Shifting Writers

As a writer
You can be anything your heart desires
take any shape size or form
as you please 
Infinite possibilities of all you can be and do
With paint and a brush you can be Picasso
you can be Shakespeare if you wanted 
even host a Coltrane concert if so wished
You can morph into
a cute little butterfly
a magical sea witch 
a giant whale in the Atlantic
You can tour the universe and time travel
while sitting behind a desk looking out your tiny window
back in time as you survey the future and build castles
You can eat anything in this worldeven that which has not yet made it to Joël Robuchon's menu
You can travel as far as your imagination can take you
You'd be in Paris enjoying a croissant and a Café au lait
from your backyard
Or basking on the sandy beaches in Malibu
from the little concrete city you live in
You can experience 
winter spring summer autumn all seasons 
from a small tropical village on the East of Africa
You can be an angel, a demon, a zombie, a poltergeist
 just choose your calling 
You can walk into the world's greatest ballrooms
waltz and dine
with the grande dames of our time
and banter with charming princes kissing knights and curtseying to queens

As a writer you can be
anything 
anywhere
anytime

Premium Member French Ladies

Ladies from France
Renowned for their glamor
Parade designer dresses
All day long all night long
Like gazelles in stilettos
Looking fit looking fab

It’s a mystery and conundrum
How successful they are
To maintain girlish figures
While we punish ourselves
Trying to lose every pound
It’s not right it’s not fair

I’ve decided to see for myself
Take the next red eye flight
Meet the ladies for breakfast
Spend a day à la parisienne

So here I am ~
Starting off with café au lait
And a big buttery croissant
Rush to this shop and this bakery
One errand then another
What a joy to sit down for a bite
It wouldn’t be a meal without wine
And a baguette s’il vous plaît
Then artful pastries sublime masterpieces

Whew ~
My day is done I’m back crossing the Atlantic
What have I learned from my day with the ladies
They’ll buy one croissant or a chocolate not a box
They love friends to laugh and chat at the table
They’ll nibble their pastry savoring each single bite
They prefer to shop for fashion than for food

Premium Member I AM THE LIGHT WITHIN THE DARK-

I AM THE LIGHT WITHIN THE DARK  

On the course of life's highway;
I am walking to mine horizon;
In the witness I am smart;
I'm a walking to mine horizon;
I am the light, within the dark;
I am the heat, in the fire spark;
When noon nest loses in light;

Standing on the curb
In the witness I am smart;
I am righteously embarked;
 On the course of life's highway;
I am walking to mine horizon;
I am the heat, in the fire spark;
I am the light, within the dark;

PIDGIN(NIGERIAN)?for di coarse for life's highway;
i am walking to mine horizon;
for di witness i am smart;
i'm a walking to mine horizon;
i am di lait, for inside di dark;
i am di heat, for di faya spark;
wen noon nest looses for lait;

standing for di curb
for di witness i am smart;
i am righteously embarked;
 for di coarse for life's highway;
i am walking to mine horizon;
i am di heat, for di faya spark;
i am di lait, for inside di dark;

Premium Member I'M a Little Teapot

I’m a little teapot*
Of that there is no doubt
I need my first fix in the morning
Or I will scream and shout!

The kettle whistles to let me know
It’s time to make my tea
The tea bag is waiting in my cup
There is always plenty of tea for me

Every morning I drink Tetley’s -
I don’t leave the bag too long to stew!
In the afternoon I will drink green tea
It is such a refreshing brew

Tetley tea I make with a little milk
I drink around eight cups a day
It’s my favourite drink in the world
I'd rather drink tea than café au lait!

Wake up with a coffee or tea contest
Sponsored by Kim Rodrigues

*First line is from a nursery rhyme ‘I’m a little teapot’ The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.
My mum is also a big tea drinker and I’ve always referred to myself as a ‘teapot’

Premium Member Love With a Capital L

Love is like a warm wooly hat
On a cold and blustery day
A raincoat shielding from a driving rain
A cup of cafe au lait

The morning sun spreading its joy
The warmth of a child's touch
A sleepy hello from the love of your life
Tender words that mean so much

Can you think of anything sweeter
Than the call of a whippoorwill
A protective lioness feeding her cubs
A meadow at midnight so still

Mere words at times fail to express
What's hidden deep in our hearts
Only with time honoured expressions
Are we able to describe it in part

There are so many words and phrases
But none so meaningful as this
A gentle touch, a warm tender smile
A long and passionate kiss

Love is like a warm wooly hat
On a cold and blustery day
A raincoat shielding us from a driving rain
A cup of cafe au lait
