by the sea

0 posted 2011-06-19 12:17 PM



Red apples, yawns which the sun breast-feeds
near the window that the breeze mistreats
the sky as a thief steals in everyone
and stuffs the bird who pricks you the back.

The basket is alive instead of a vast bed
where lengthen the sighs of a whole life,
children who play in the groans of gardens
invent dreams of plums and clear froths,

To prevent the bird from crying as the rain,
from spending its day to watch the wind,
the cheeks whipped by the advice of the parents
below the lilacs which tears annoy,

Red and green apples which the sun caresses
to rock your skin of parties and promises
it will be enough to throw you as a kiss
to exhilarate the sea, with a single flavor to reassure it.

                                                                                                                                                          Pommes rouges, bâillements que le soleil allaite
près de la fenêtre que la brise maltraite
le ciel comme un voleur se faufile en chacun
et empaille l’oiseau qui vous pique le dos.

La corbeille est en vie au lieu d’un vaste lit
où s’allongent les soupirs de toute une vie,
des enfants qui jouent dans les râles des jardins
inventent des songes de prunes et des mousses de vins,

Pour empêcher l’oiseau de pleurer comme la pluie,
de passer sa journée à surveiller le vent,
les joues fouettées par les conseils des parents
au dessous des lilas que les larmes ennuient,

pommes rouges et vertes que le soleil caresse
pour bercer votre peau de fêtes et de promesses
il suffira de vous lancer comme un baiser
d’ enivrer la mer, d’un seul parfum la convoiter.

I am loving your cornicopia of poetry.  Again, this is stunning visually.  You write beautifully, my friend.

I leave you with this - a gift you just gave me.

You are incredibly creative, dear Poet Yann. This opens my eyes to stunning visions. Apples as actresses in their leading role. A still life that becomes an excellent story.

Love,
Margherita
