//A few poems were posted throughout a few artsy Nexus sites and on the forum of a small bookstore known as "The Blank Page". The username of whom posted those poems is simply known as Cici// The Landscape I want, to compose chastely my eclogues, Laying near the sky, like astrologers And, neighbor of the steeples, listening in my dream Their solemn hymns carried by the wind. Both of my hands at my chin, high from my attic I would see the workshops singing and conversing The pipes, the steeples, those masts of the city Those giant skies that makes you dream of eternity The lakes of coal climbing to the firmament And its moon pouring its pale enchant I would see the spring, the summer and the autumn And when those dull winters will come I would close everywhere, door and windows To build at night, a ferric mansion So I could dream of blue horizons Gardens, water jets in the alabasters Kisses, birds singing day and night And everything the most childish idyll has The riot banging at my window Will not lift my head from my pillow Because I will be dipping in this sensuousness To bring the spring to my will To shoot a sun from my heart and to make From my burning thoughts ,a warm atmosphere. Music The music often takes me like the ocean! Toward my pale star, Under a ceiling of mist or a vast aether I am setting sail; The chest forward and inflated lungs Like a canvas, I am escalading the back of those tender waves When the night covers me; I can feel all the sensations Of a suffering ship, Good wind, tempest and its convulsions On top of that gigantic gulf It rocks me. Other times, flat calm, large mirror Of my despair. Beating When you’re certain to be the loser, There is no peace, there is no war. Goodbye father Goodbye brothers I leave with a beating heart Walk the earth Brave the storm When experience is nothing but wind For the unknown mercenary You take the straight path There is no sense to misery Goodbye father Goodbye brothers I leave with a beating heart The Comet How heavy is the time in my misleading soul A large menacing sky, a lighting that shouts at me Your heart is vicious, your spirit between its claws Cannot do anything for you and you are meaningless The travelling clouds are making abstract arts They are talking about unknown happiness I could do just like them and leave without waiting Light like dust carried by the wind And in this solitude of this aerial dance Courage erupting, I will find the words I will endlessly mumble prayers For the serenity of an eternal rest BUT. Exhausted like I am, I will push back The day of my departure for another planet If only I could drown my vice A warm voice would tell me ‘’You shine like a comet’’ ‘’You shine like a comet’’ Oh, how mocking is the moon When she takes over the sky She stares at me like a tracking light I would wish to destroy or land on it Dizzied by its charm that never ceases I am a magnifying glass that the light kisses Its rays rejoice into a single point, burning everything of my cuirass And after my time, there will be nothing left And in the solitude of this new desert I will have everything to build to welcome peace And all my time as well, to warn the universe That joy came back and will never leave BUT. Condemned by doubt, frozen and fearful I am like my people, hesitant and wistful I talk to anyone about my fictional kingdom My dizzy heart and gnawed by fear And in the solitude of this new desert I will have everything to build to welcome peace And all my time as well, to warn the universe That joy came back and will never leave --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Chehui for sharing her incredible writing skills and knowledge for the last poem, "The Comet" !. //Comments could be left on the page and a link was offered to download the poems// (( The poems were mostly inspired from real poems, songs and books.))
