Sometimes


Fading away
Like some golden dust
Scattered
By a wind
Of despair
Fragile
Like the shadow and the light
Of a flickering candle
As robust as
The Mountain's rocks

A mystery
A precious treasure
Hidden deep
In the secret sand
A sacred mirage
A blurred image
Lost there
So powerful
In its
Magnificence

Unattainability

Wrapped up
Around my breast
Sticked to the elementary particles
Of the breath
Right from the burning
Finger tips
Into the wide
Ocean of dreams 
And hopelessness

Belonging to the familiar
Recognition
The incomparable sparkling music
Spreading joy
Upon the green wide, soft
And misty space
Warmth
Bursting out
Into a thousand
Perfect touches
Of beautifully
Blossoming dearth

The eternal return
Constantly moving
From persistent emptiness
Into holy Wholeness

A dream

Loneliness
Of static hours
Of persisting doubts
Watching
The Marble's veins
Spreading
Their silent, cold
Greyish brook
Across the room
Of my wandering 

Thoughts 

I am
Your damned double
Your black fallen angel
Your companion
In adrenalin

And peaceful
Thoughts
Whispers
Of Jealousy
And silence
 
Abandonment


Unreachable
Worshiped

Closed eyes
I see better
Behind
Your eyelids

And mine
Mastering
The jailed
Bliss
Screaming 

In muteness

The pertinent
Persistent
Knowledge


The impossibility

The dream
Suspended


Pleasurable
And free


Borderless


The stubborn 
Absence

Aborted momentums
Wrapped
Upon themselves
The constant
Pleasurable echo
Bouncing 

Against my chest
Filling my belly

The hand
Stirring
The spoon in the coffee cup
A look in the mirror
Precise, slow and daily gestures
Familiar
Dreams

Dressed up
In black and coloured feathers
Struggling with
Everyday's storms
Thinking of
Your thirsty
Lips

The raven in the snow

A lengthy Winter
Stuck on the cold window

The raven in the snow

Courtier of the frostbites
Claws
Greedy and sharp
Conjugating with
The endless cracks

Waving
Smooth black feathers
Like a macabre fan

Starving
Rapacious beaks
Watching
The tilted flamme
Of a distrustful breath
Until
I let it go

The fight
The words to write
The blue ink stream
Screaming
Between the interstices

Bursting into whispers
Of love


Endless crevasses
Of biting coldness
Dancing
On the chessboard
Of my Doubts

What I guess

What I know
What I don't know
What I doubt
What I guess

Who I know
Who I don't know
Who I guess
Who I trust

The ink
Frozen into the pen
Like a compass
In distraught

In a paralytic
Quest of words
A motionless
Contemplation

The precious words to choose
The precious words to tell
Or to keep mute
Gazing at
The certainty
Of the instant

The torpor
Of voluntary
Amnesias
A black veil
Transcended by the dream

The persistent
Incomprehensible
Pounding of
The blood pulse

To go
Beyond
The soft waves
Of cottony thoughts
To race into the fight
To smile
Against the heaviness
Of the anvil

On The Nape Of The Neck

Something
Both delicate and strong
Just there
On the nape of the neck
In the unique
Powerful silence
Of contemplation
Eyes and arms
Around
Meaningful shoulders
Full of sense
And sensual callings
Vanishing
In despair
Anticipating
The salty
Stolen kiss

A land where to travel
A land where to free you
Or enslave you
In a wish
Teasing
The Beauty
Of the moment
Tasting
Infinity
Upon some lips
Of Desire
Reflected in
Never satisfied
Eyes
Love
Licked and lacked
Momentarily postponed
Suspended on a breath
Indefinite duration
Sealed with the blue ink
Of Passion


Curves
Offered

To receive
The painful kiss
The perfect holy sanction
Delivered 
Out of the light
And into
Darkness

A land to explore
Beyond the borders
Of ourselves
Bodies and souls
Transported
Beyond
Good and Evil
A timeless Bliss
Suspended
In its cold and warm
Transcendant 
Waves

Timelessness

The timelessness of things which sometimes reduces the facts to a tiny fraction of a second.Like a flash or a furtive grain of sand gobbled up in the immense ocean of an hourglass in the infinity.
Or sometimes, on the contrary, time diluted, stretched, extended, immortalized, turned toward infinity. Until it becomes in our memory, similar to a long and meaningful river.
The meaning that we give to it, or the words that we've been given. 
So, I do not really know any more if the sun shone this day and if the heaviness of the silence was gobbled up forever or if it still remains..
I do not really know which words actually went out of my mouth and who stopped them. I do not really know what my eyes really saw.
There is no other time than the one that we name with our own empirical instruments. The one that the man himself starts up and the one that his hand stops.
My story is not 'one', it is multiple. It is anchored in Time as it is simultaneously detached from it. One single moment can seem to extend over an eternity or to almost vanish in our memory, as furtively as a wink.
There are no stories. No History either. There are punctual, juxtaposed facts. Lived and felt. Mixed some with the others. Leaving a print. Rather belonging to our memory and what it makes of them.
What remains is certainly related to the certainty or the confusion of the feelings.
Our memory, our history. This fuzzy mirror of our soul.
Our story, a myth 'reconstructed' in the light of our more or less abashed memories, that we consider sometimes as real. Firmly, like a stubborn religion sacrificing our reconstructed and re-appropriated self.
We stand outside any chronological logic. Becoming a logic in itself of ourselves.

Travelling



Whispered words
And a thousand thoughts
Are my travelling
Companions

I hear them
Singing in my ears
A song
Of sweet freedom
Stretching over
A newly born
Horizon

I see
Through your eyes
And mine
Again and again
The fathomless
Meaning
Of the sea
I see
The questions
That have
No answers
Like waves
Stretching
Rolling
endlessly brought back
To the shore
I see
The untold stories
The unheard songs
The reflections upon
The red walls
I see
In black and white
And in color

The incomparable
Beauty
The inconsolable
Pains

Through walking
And walking
And walking
I understand
How much
I can embrace

I know
The measure
of a treasure

Diving into
Pleasure

In so far as
I can't reach
Those mysteriously
Dark clear eyes
An enigma
Fixed in a present
And in a past
that escape me

Belonging to
Parallel
Foreign worlds
Two oceans swimming
Into each other's movement
Joining
In a bliss

Juggling
Within
The magnificent
Almighty
Ambiguïty





A silent conversation

Pure
Entireness
Of silence

Silence
Containing all
The silences
Of our souls
The storms
The whispers
And the cries

The dream

Unfolding
And melting
In an harmonious
Recognition

Everything
But nothingness

A full box
Of silent
Conversations
A weaving of
Colourful words
Melting
In transgression
Tireless

Words
Perfectly tuned
And balanced
Making love
To one another
In a symphony
Of wonder

Words
Never in solitude
In loneliness
Maybe
Like the sweet touch
Of velvet on the skin
Language
Reunified
Into the abysses
Of an absence

Flu

Like a wild beast
Inside
The ached body
Injecting
Feverish nightmares
Into the sweating night

Static hours
Stuck
To the bed
The mind
As heavy as
An anvil
The body like
A cotton flower

Thoughts
Floating in a room
Soaked  with warm sweet tea
And honey

Endless hours
Rocked by
Some fleeting naps
In the chore of a winter
drawn by the hypnotic music
Of stillness

An hibernation

Eyes closed
I think of what
You saw
Then
From your ostracized bed

Those wounds
You would never
Recover from

They just dragged you away
A little more
Everyday
Far from this merciless world
Of  deeply breathing life

My temporary pains
Are not your agony
Eyes half closed
I am
Just waiting for a dawn
Which has
Never been yours

Those who care

Among
The blurred hours
Where fever
Melts into
Some dark 
Nightmares

Inside the ached
Body and soul
I recognize
The soft breath
Of a caring face

Just being there
Without a word

The Hers of her
The Him of him

When he used to care 
Too
A long time ago
In a way
That made me feel
Strong 
Again

Wrapped into words 
And smiles
And sometimes sad 
Silences

Even these ones 
Were warm and soft
In their entire
Consoling 
Solemnity

A graciousness
Feeding my soul
Raising me

Leaving upon
Each surface 
Of the unutterable
Irremovable marks of
Infinite love
