L'attente



Quand l'attente se fait longue,
Que la patience fait défaut,
Les pensées grises et noires abondent,
Attisant quelques maux.

Peut-être a-t-elle perdu son sac dans le train.
Et perdu avec lui ton adresse et son cellulaire et l'envie..
Elle s'est alors peut-être dit:
"Il n'aura pas gouté à mes délices,
Tant pis! "

Et peut-être que c'est à cause d'un cas urgent qui a surgit.
Ou qu'elle a été tentée par un voyage au soleil.
Peut-être qu'elle t'a appelé quand tu étais sorti
Lui acheter quelques roses pour votre soirée...

Et peut-être a-t-elle croisé un ex qui lui aurait
Rappelée quelques doux-amers souvenirs.
C'est alors qu'elle s'est peut être jurée
De ne plus voir un homme qui ne serait un jour qu'un souvenir..

Et peut-être qu'un Taxi l'a heurtée
Alors qu'elle se rendait chez toi.
Et que certaines de ses planètes ont quitté
leurs orbites et qu'elle se soigne aux calmants et s'y noie..

Ou peut-être qu'elle s'est regardée dans la glace.
Et qu'elle a palpé deux poires bien dures ondulant
Sous sa robe en soie.
C'est alors qu'elle se serait demandée en soupirant:
"Quelqu'un mériterait-il ma féminité plus que moi?"

Et peut-être qu'elle a retrouvé
Un ancien amour dont elle ne s'est toujours pas défaite.
Et a accepté son invitation à diner..

Et peut-être qu'elle est morte.
Car la mort peut tomber d'amour pour quelqu'un, soudain, comme toi.
Et la mort, comme toi, n'aime pas attendre.

Passers-by through borrowed words


Hey, passers-by through borrowed words
Pick up your names and go
Remove your watches from our time and go
Take the amount you want of the memory's sand
And our sea's blue...
Take all the photos you like, so that you know
That you'll never know
How rocks build the sky's roof in our land

Hey, passers-by through borrowed words
You've got the sword and we've got our blood
You've got steel and fire and we've got our pain
You've got a brand new tank and we've got stones
You've got a gas bomb and we've got the rain
So take your share of our blood and go
Enter a dancing party and go
We'll keep looking after our tombs' roses
We'll keep living despite your plan

A Kama Sutra Lesson



With two crystal glasses on your table
Wait for her
With three perfume drops on your chest
Wait for her
With the red purple fading sun kissing the horizon
Wait for her
With the patience of a horse used to mountains' slopes
Wait for her
With seven pillows stuffed with light clouds
Wait for her
With the flame that lights your candles
Wait for her
With your male smell filling up the room
Wait for her

Don't hurry
So if she is late
Wait for her
And if she is early
Wait for her
And if she is on time
Wait for her
And don't frighten the birds on her braids
And wait for her

As she sits at ease
Wait for her
As she breathes your room's air
Wait for her
As her dress rides up her legs
Wait for her

Take her out onto the balcony
To show her a moon flooded in milk
And wait for her
Don't look at the dove twins
Sleeping on her chest
And wait for her
Caress her hand slowly
As if you were removing some mist
And wait for her
Talk to her
Like a flute talks to a scared violin's string
And wait for her
Shine her night hour after hour
And wait for her

Until the night tells you
The two of you are the only left
Then take her smoothly
To your desired death
And Wait for her...

I bear witness to trees' fingers


Here comes the river of time to sweep you away
Trees are shaking their ghostly windy arms
Farewell is drawn in green color
Birds are yelling with their broken beaks
And I am looking at the water flooding your face
that was once my lighthouse
I say nothing .. but I yawn

I got used to that scene
I knew since the beginning
that I found you to loose you
that I loved you to miss you
Because we met by chance
As you were going to your glory's joy
and as I was coming back from my boredom
We were two arrows going in opposite directions
There was no way out of goodbye, as well as our encounter...

I am letting you go with a little pang
As the moment we crossed each other,
the whole world shined for a while
Like sudden thunder lights the sky
I saw my fragile reality
and your ironic reality, then
But still love rained warmly
So we melt in the storm
And elements thought we'll never be apart...
It was nice that we met
and soothing to split up ... and enter the yawning

Déjà vu


I recalled you as spears were going off from me
And as white butterflies were flying away from my flowing blood
So I wanted to kiss the swords
Just because
They sparkled like your shining smiling mouth

Bullfight


Since that time I've been waiting
In that dark room behind the door,
I heard people having fun and singing
At the end of the corridor
Someone has touched the bolt
I was thrown into daylight
I saw brass bands and barriers
And people all around

At first I thought
I only had to run
But There was no through road
the game has just begun
They closed the door behind me
They were afraid that I reverse
I must get that handsome flamenco dancer
Otherwise I would be cursed

I can still remember
that cactus-lined street
Why would I have to tremble
In front of that puppet, that creep..
I'll catch him with his sombrero
I'll make them turn like the sun
Standing ovation for the hero
The bullfighter is a woman

I've already chased ghosts
I've even touched their ballet shoes
They hit my neck so hard
to make me bow and loose
Where do these acrobats come from
with their paper costumes
I've never learned to fight dolls
As slain, they turn to fumes

I hear them laugh as I groan
I hear them dance as I succumb
I've never known
That people could have that much fun
Around a tomb

Addiction


I got addicted to you and it's over. Or has it just begun?...
So stick your presence into my veins like an anesthetic golden needle.
And stick your tongue into my chest so that my heart wakes..
