On the sun, I write poetry,
on the table, I write poetry,
on the hardly opened window,
on the birds which sing,
on the sky which resists,
I write poetry,
on the snow which falls,
I write that I miss you,
on stars, I write poetry,
in the night silence,
I write that you learnt me to everything,
on the ignorant mountains,
on the boats of my childhood,
I write poetry to include you,
I write words to know you,
on the silence of comets,
I write poetry to fly away,
I write poetry on blackboards,
on ponds where we drown,
I write poetry, on the picked roses,
I write the fear of losing you,
on the indiscreet churches,
on the clocks of kitchens,
I write poetry to breathe,
I write poetry to simplify,
so that all books open,
I write all which subjects me,
I write simply, on the sun,
on the stars, I write poetry,
on the sky which resists,
and slowly,
So that the world knows your smile,
knows last your heart
which trifles with all lyings.

Yep, yann, I too write poetry because I must.

It is as if Universe itself with all it contains inspires you to write, to give voice to your innermost feelings about everything that accelerates your heartbeat.

Exquisite, dear Yann.

islander - A fine example testifying that it isn't blood that flows in a poet's veins but ink and all the passion it puts to pen. Enjoyed. Namyh

Yann I always love these list type of poems because they create such a flow of emotions which you have done so very well in this piece.

Just bursting with line after line of delights.
