Aby M'baye Poem
Make as you feel it
In the sense of your feel
Without forgetting sense
Fais comme tu le sens
Dans le sens de tes sens
Sans oublier le sens

The moon likes to hide
to arouse the yearning for life
Longing of Longing
Life in urge

A seagull flies away
Non-stop direct
Straight to the ocean

Aby M'baye Poem
I believed I saw you
at the top
of Carteret Street
Beloved*
But it wasn't you
Just the inspiration of you
I thought I saw you
at the end
of Ocean Avenue
Chinaski*
But it wasn't you
Just a whiff of you
I walked to Liberty Park
And I saw you
In a ray of sunlight
Bandini*
But it wasn't you
Just a shadow of you
I thought I saw you
On the boat
With your laughing eyes
Manolin*
But it wasn't you
Just the sea
that remembered you
And there at last
I saw you
My Little Prince*
on your cloud-tree
This time it's safe
I see you
Aby M.
P.S.*** :
Beloved is Toni Morrison's character in Beloved
Chinaski is Charles Bukowski's Character
Bandini is Arturo Bandini's character
Manolin is Ernest Hemingway's character in The old man and the sea

Colimaçon...
Nowadays
I didn't get lost
Nowadays
I didn't lose you
Colimaçon...
Nowadays
I didn't look for you
Newadays
I found myself
Colimaçon...

Aby M'baye Poem
My little fella
I held you softly against me
For only a few minutes
Staring into the horrified eyes of a nurse
Who saw death
Where I saw love in an ocean of bitter sadness
My little fella
I gave birth to you
Alone and terrified
Under the blinding darkness of a silver neon sign
Following a failed anaesthetic
Under the hurried footsteps of a panicked nurse
My little fella
I was able to give you a name
I was able to give you an official place
In this silent, frightened world
Where every time there's a blunder
Preventing a well-deserved place
My little fella
Free yourself from me
Fly away
To other joys
With a light heart
For a beautiful illuminated life
Fly away, my little fella
I'll always be there for you
And for all those who left too soon
Without hope of a happy tomorrow
Leaving waves of unfulfilled love
That return with each generation in the hope of happy days.

Aby M'baye Poem
Getting to say it
In this real life
Even if we said it
To each other
Without saying it
To each other
While saying it
To each other.

Aby M'baye Poem
Golden Lady
When I was little my mother used to tell me...
Life is not a novel
I chose life as a theater
When I was little my father always told me...
Take it easy
I ran headlong into life
Free like a river...
The present of the moment
Or the moment of the present...
When I was baby my mummy used to sing to me...
Ayo néné...
Touti Néné...
And I sang it when I became mother myself
When I was a baby my daddy used to sing to me...
You are the sunshine of my life...
And I forgot it
The gift of the present
Or the moment of the past...
When I came to New York...
People called me Golden Lady
And looking for Golden Lady...
I found a Stevie Wonder song
When I was little I called my Grandpa'Thanks...
And in my little voice I'd tell him
I just call to say I love youuu...
And I'd hang up
For a moment in the present
Forgotten in the future...
Thanks New York
That brings back wonderful memories of childhood
Oops ! I forget my Grandma'Ola
