Love,
Your thoughts wash my spirit
As a pure spring,
Love,
Your music calms my heart
As a rope of guitar,
LOve,
When I sit near you,
The reading is easy,
LOve,
I trust in the dawn,
In the fire which you set,
In night that you light,

Love,
I follow in the desert
And the sand caresses my feet,
I follow you in the mountain
And the snow feeds my heart,
Love,
Your thoughts are the only music
That we can hear from the moon,
Love,
The castaways
Thank the honey of your banks,
Love,
You round off the earth of your caresses of wind,
Love,
Your hands are perfumed
As soaps of Syria,
Your hands transform the clay
And shale in idle horses,
You are river where to drink,
Where to quench one’s spirit,
You are the air where take back breath
And measure the unlikeliness,

That would be we love,
Without your song in the rain,
That would be we love,
Without your song under the sun,
Love, I repeat myself like days,
You are the fruit of the most ripe tree,
Love, let me whisper with you.

A wonderful hymn to Love, dear Yann.

This stream of loving poetic thoughts has crossed your heart and touched ours.

Love,

Yann, your poem is what love is all about, but it has to be between people who are right for each other, and it has to be real.

Love, in my humble opinion, is not a thing to search for.  In my humble opinion, one should search for a person to whom one wants to give one’s all, and therefore one’s love – somebody who wants to give the same back.

I love your poem.  It is very beautiful and sensitive.

Cher Yann, est-ce que tu as la version française de ce poème exceptionnel? J'aimerais bien le lire en français, parce que le charme de ta langue est insupérable ...

Dear Owl, you say "love is not a thing to search for .... etc.". Imo, being this a Universal love poem, I would say that LOVE is quite simply something to LIVE. LOVE IS and we just need to be AWARE of its all permeating power. And ... true love is UNCONDITIONAL. When we are able to love someone (or others) who doesn't (don't) love us back then we can say we have come to understand the true nature of love, that kind of pure love Yann speaks of so beautifully.

This said, we all dream of a perfect blend with another person, it's this dream that will eventually manifest REALITY. What is real? LOVE IS THE ONLY REALITY WE SHOULD LIVE.

Love, I repeat myself like days,
You are the fruit of the most ripe tree,
Love, let me whisper with you.

Agape Love!

Yes indeed Owl, love is between two persons, but there is also a nature of love, an idea of purity that I tried to express, I tried to tell the qualities of love independantly of a relationship, idealistic i guess,however I am convinced that what you wrote is true and helpful, thanks for the moving comment,

margherita, j'aime ce mot insupérable qui doit être un mot suisse francophone et que je ne connaissais pas mais dont je devine le sens,

thanks for the gracious and elogious commment, I post you the frencg version here and now,
thanks a lot

yann

Amour,
tes pensées lavent mon esprit
comme une source pure,
Amour,
ta musique apaise mon cœur
comme une corde de guitare,
Amour,
quand je suis assis près de toi,
la lecture est facile,
Amour,
j’ai confiance dans l’aube,
dans le feu que tu allumes,
dans la nuit que tu éclaires,

Amour,
je te suis dans le désert
et le sable me caresse les pieds,
je te suis dans la montagne
et la neige nourrit mon cœur,
Amour,
tes pensées sont la seule musique
qu’on entende de la lune,
Amour,
les naufragés
remercient le miel de tes rivages,
Amour,
tu arrondies la terre de tes caresses de vent,
Amour,
tes mains sont parfumées
comme des savons de Syrie,
tes mains transforment la glaise
et l’argile en chevaux indolents,
tu es rivière où boire,
où désaltérer son esprit,
tu es l’air où reprendre souffle
et mesurer l’invraisemblance,

Que serions nous amour,
sans ta chanson sous la pluie,
que serions nous amour,
sans ta chanson sous le soleil,
Amour, je me répète comme le jour,
tu es le fruit de l’arbre le plus mûr,
Amour je te parle.

Incomparable! C'est cela le mot juste voilà! Insupérable peut être très bien un mot que j'ai créé moi-même. (de l'italien "insuperabile"

)

The French version sounds wonderful to my ear, it is in fact breathtaking.

In the last stanza it would sound better in English if you said "What would we be love without ....", but don't worry, the meaning comes through clearly anyway.

Thank you, dear Yann, for sharing the poem also in French.

Love,
Margherita

Yann and Margherita, I misunderstood that Yann was referring to a romantic love only. What I was trying to express is that love is not an active entity that comes and looks for you if you are lucky. It is a wonderful thing, but it is passive. It is people who do the loving, thus, whether the love that one is talking about is storgé, philia, eros or agapé (as I am sure you both know, are loosely described respectively as deep natural affection, friendship for family and friends, romantic and altruistic charity), it is people who need actively to do the loving. However, I read the poem as a personification of love, and either or any way, the poem is very, very beautiful.

Now that I know that you were talking about love in a wider sense, Yann, I find it even more beautiful, and absolutely exquisite in French.

Moi, aussi, je ne connaissais pas le mot “insupérable” et j’avais pensé que j’avais appris un nouveau mot, et le discours entre toi et Margherita à ce sujet, était tellement intéressant!

bonjour diana, je pense que effectivement j'idéalise l'amour car la réalité est toujours différente, c'est vrai que l'amour est entre des personnes avant d'exister mais on ne pourra jamais empêcher l'homme de dématérialiser un sentiment et d'en faire une idée, l'idée de l'amour existe en même temps que l'amour des gens apparait, ce sont deux choses qui ne peuvent se séparer je crois, en tout cas diana, ton commentaire m'a fait réfléchir, il est très juste et intelligent, mais je ne faisais ici qu'u travail de poète, c'est peut être seuulement du rêve...

amicalement

Yann, je comprends précisement ce que tu dis et pense de ton coeur de poète, et j’adore ton poème, et j’adore aussi d’avoir l’occasion de parler (et penser et écrire) en français. C’est plus ou moins, trente ans depuis que j’ai utilisé cette très belle langue régulièrement. Merci beaucoup de ton très gentille explication.
