The past is my precious Achilles’ heel,
the spirit of a woman then comes to haunt me
tears the day as a utopian curtain
and hurts my heart of a tragic arrow.

I see the silence which separates the time
and the time which passes as a Trojan horse,
what is dream then doesn’t have sense anymore,
either the mysterious boats of the knowledge.

The poet fought many sound faces
and left on their mouth the pain of the present,
the love exists when it is brilliant as the gold

The love exists when the sun drop the sword
on Asia Minor in the stained with blood banks
and cries the only star which he cannot leave.

The past is my precious Achilles’ heel,
the spirit of a woman then comes to haunt me
invites the day as a utopian tree
and hurts my heart of a magic arrow.

The past is my invaluable Achilles’ heel,
my only certainty when the foreign sun
lights my face with the forgetting which haunts him.

Yann,

This is interestingly confusing. Who is the "him" here, and who is the "my" here?

Must be kind of bittersweet, dear Yann. Your poetic expressions are very intriguing and powerful.

Love,
