So good night mama,
We're burying our dead
Another generation
In long neat rows
Of chipped, hard stone reflecting.
Their lives are gone.

The bankers live on....

I haven't the heart to tell her,
and love takes many forms,
so who am I to judge,
and who would I be,
if I ripped it away?
so I'll wait,
until she gets bored,
or the box disintegrates.

Hum, the early morning’s car, and Fini,
in her usual four o'clock prance,
purrs, between us, two, 
before, the alarm can chew,
on that obnoxious chime,
leaving just enough time,
for me, to pontificate,
in wait,
for all rhythm and rhyme,
to renew.

One last time, your heart breaks against mine.

 One last time, my tears spill  across your face.

 One last longing look, one last shared sunset, one last embrace.

 Then you will leave me one last time,

 And vanish without a trace.

Do you see my Heart?
 Do you see the Heartache?

 Do you see the Tears?
 Do you see the Honesty?

 Do you see the Emotion?
 Do you see the Feeling?

 It's been so long since I've Wanted!
 So long since I've Touched!

 Then you made me Laugh!
 And my Heart Opened!

Looking through the eyes of love
I see a vision so beautiful.

 Looking through the eyes of love,
I see more emotion, than my heart may handle.

 Looking through the eyes of love,
I see how, I am capable of love.

 Looking through the eyes of love,
I see you.

When I need comfort, 
 I need to look, no further than you.

  For I will always find,
 Comfort in your arms.

  You are my world,
 You are every breath I take.

  You are my world,
 You are every move I make.

  With your hand in mine,
 I feel a power so divine.

               / Fini /...

Ever gonna praise Him
You know you ever
Ever Gonna praise Him
In sorrow glory
In indebtedness glory
In problems glory
In happiness holy
In all badness
In all gladness
Ever gonna praise Him
Ever gonna praise His just…
because
repeat  2x  then  fini

I imagine your thoughts to trail off in French,
Politely demanding the finest pâté,
Then taking repose on a Tuileries bench.

An elegant lady dressed in all black,
Sipping Merlot on l’Île Saint-Louis,
Your citrine gaze ever poised to attack.

You are not one for sunshine,
A queen of the night,
My little feline!

Are you the trapped soul of Simone de Beauvoir?
Mon petit chat noir....

Tenons au bâton
Changeons cette invision
Sans arrêt
Où regret
Sans soucie
Sans ennuie
Les yeux fermés
Sachant tous va bien aller
On veux le voir 
Faut bien y croire
Coeur miroir
On y trouve notre espoir
Passé avant
Réveillés vous les croyants
Humanity sincerity 
Must hold integrity
Fast asleep 
As many cheat
Awaken from slumber
With courage to hunger
Neighboured by Savior
Positive adventure
Allons-y 
Loin d'être fini...

Le vent danses, Le cœur dort

J'les entends chuchoter dans la nuit
Quand le vent chante, moi j'pleure
Pour tous le beau dommage d'hier
Amants perdus dans leurs rêves
Même père et la mère

Dan ma rue
Il y a seulement un cul du sac
La vie se termine ici
Vos rêves sont en dehors de la fenêtre au soleil
Mes rêves sont à l'intérieur d'une bouteille
Rouge est le vin et le sang
Pour toujours mon cauchemar est fini
Dans la terre du diable, ici...

Memories

Roam the fields while still young,
And consider the seed either bloom or weed.
And pick the one that flowers under the sun,
And see to your needs and not your greed,
To take to the grave before day expires,
And rest in peace with good memories.

Rose petals are soft to touch and smell sweet,
But the thorns prick the skin to bleed.
In my youth I was pugnacious,
And my smile was pretentious.
I was clever and now tout fini.
Bad memories are all I take with me....
