Twilight Zone

I begin my descent on earth in the vertical
charmed to spin Chantal in the horizontal
100 times I could feel beating at the sleep his liver 
then to take the tangent when she awakes just after
there are times we were playing  pursuit in the lateral 
 on an armchair she used to close herself in a metal
when I landed like a Boeing in diagonal 
it was the time of the sun-bath
at the shade like a bodyguard  an eye pointed at her

at the speed of light we reach the milky way 
defying the weightlessness, 6 skies separate us
filled by guards with unheard-of  forces
 none of us (on there) can have access
 
Chantal and her other stupid similar
seem to turn around March and Jupiter
to meet another being ? or to move elsewhere?
we do not even use to make them as stopover
sorry my beloved, that is where I understood
 see without being seen prove to be a major asset
there are only us and angels with light colors


came the day  I was taken back
by a double escort of geniuses
It's been a century I didn't do anything
I was accountable to Balthazar
at 8-close one closed me where sat Judge Adamar
 we want to spread  blood of others
Sow terror, troubles and what follows
convert friend to enemy and you, you bore us
 with your nothingness to the daily reports

Clement was the séance, one extended my reprieve                                         Go… find her free as she is and I warn you                                                           with my hands I’ll destroy you                                                                                             If she is reconverted between the 2 parallels                                                           where  it’s the road to the paradise

Place Your Bets

at the start, it was to be competitor
choose only one corridor 
or not to be there, or nowhere 
and lose all what we plan for
who knows at the arrival maybe 
there will be a seat to acquire
to bet on the right card you had to be vampire
to be nearby… in a paranoia
at two fingers to dive in  the phobia
let’s be in a new world order
 Never mind if it's led by a lobby
 law is under the dictate of somebody
there will be no more 3rd War or Star War
to be or not to be will be the reason for to be
neither a state nor one politician 
nor a future  fighter like Martian
even well equipped or authoritarian
has believed it will be this question.
to be contemporary laic and lay
even communist or even gay
all united for not to be like
those whose religion prevents desire
from the priest to the traitor
no one will be neutral 
some have understood 
direction east they took
and started acting by fire
direction south-east they took
it’s there  we have to light the pyre?
