Sweet Tenderness

Never forgotten in the sweet tenderness

Petits rien chuchotes dans  une petite promesse

Hand in hand strolling through a darkened corridor

Laissant les idées, les mots à leurs propres sorts

Melodious symphonies playing in hearts softly

Pendant que l’âme pense à l’amour en supplie

Longing for beginnings anew born out of fever

Oubliant les maux qui appartiennent à la ferveur

The road is longer than anyone would say

Mais plus douce avec un peu de complicité

Remains to find the soul to carry the heart further

Et laisser derrière un passé plain d’horreur.

Three Minutes to Darkness

It was a few minutes, no more

Leaving a mind and heart sore

The force at its most extreme

For the pride to remain supreme

Never would humanity believe

What those in the soul leave…

Until you feel yourself giving in

Feeling your strength failing

You beg, starting pleading

Your hand around his wrist

In your head your thoughts twist

A final fight for survival

How is this happening at all?

The air sour stings your lungs

In his eyes your love suddenly is hung

You kick, you struggle to no avail             

After you no one to recount the tale

Around your neck his strong fingers

His eyes burning full of pure anger

Then suddenly your thoughts dims

Still in his eyes the rage gleams

The light switches off so slowly

Until there nothing left for you to see

As your body gives in to total emptiness

There’s nothing left for you to confess

Deep darkness as you slowly sink in

Today for you there will be no winning….

Alone Together

Tears running down the pale cheeks

Heart beating faster by the second

Eyes that never meet

Pure deepest emotion

There’s so much that could be told

Hands never held for mistaken comprehension

Millions of beating hearts whose love is never bought or sold

Yet there is no denying their never failing passion

Time and time again beating for the same purpose united

Far far away from the ones they love more than life forever

In this world and life that suddenly became so complicated

Never forgetting that inside them, somewhere burns this powerful fever

Alone in the darkness of their lonely rooms in their cold homes

Their hearts and souls alone burn in unison

Each minute of their lives inscribed in the universe’s tomes

As those misunderstanding what is understood by a million

No tears, no smiles shared in public yet all known some way

All fading in the line of time and life in a sublime feeling

Light as air yet so heavy in the hearts of those who couldn’t say

What those together bring in anyway something appealing

Behind Pride

No nothing would let me admit it

What festers within me simply

Held by the fear, my mind won’t submit

To what the heart begs it to see…

Yet it is there, somewhere inside

Boiling over in all manner of ways

Kept prisoner by my heightened pride

Maybe I’ll tell you some days…

Some many times I seem to seek within

What is keeping a light in this odd place

Trying desperately to find it, something to pin

To what is not there, to some face….

Hard to appreciate what feels so good

When it is not comprehensible

Bringing about this sulking mood

Letting me forget what is so sensible

No it is not possible to understand

And my mind still refuses to think

About why I walk about with this emptied hand

And my eyes so often refuse to blink

Sleep is sweet yet seldom comes to me

Every time I close my eyes I see them smiling

They beg of me to be happy

In words that I fake understanding

Never seeing the point of hoping

Not seeking to find this feeling truly

I’ll keep on enjoy it’s presence growing

And maybe one day, why it’s there is what I’ll see!!!
