Contrived contraption
27 December 2016
Synapses
Diverging units
Time through space
Lovers knits
Illusions appearances
Unbends distances
Collapses
Of my nerve’s systems
Bleak anthems
Face disgrace
The ship sinks with all it boards
Waters welcome hoards
Digresses
The mind that invents
Circumvents
The intents
Recreating reaction
Contrived contraption
Reading of the poem:
Passage into Midnight – Omar Akram
True Love that fenders
26 December 2016
Seasons fly
In the greying sky
Winter’s last
Face downcast
Brooding through the memories past
Fishing net to cast
See me rise
In eastern sunrise
Land yellow
Heart mellow
Soft they spoke now they bellow
Seeking own fellow
Safety keep
In the rising heap
Bones that pile
Wilting smile
One by one they cast down tile
Sweltering roof beguile
Shelter build
With the Golden Guild
Bridge in ink
Over brink
Cast the shores for ships that sink
In true minds hearts think
Chest to bare
Dragons lay in lair
Holding dear
Scales to rear
Music boxes that they fear
Balance of the seer
Crawl ensnare
Three who move the air
Breath benders
Pretenders
Guards of night that surrenders
True love that fenders
Reading of the poem:
Nothing really ends – dEUS
Magdalena – dEUS
Little Arithmetics – dEUS
Reviving heartbeat
26 December 2016
Paint my lids
A streak of teardrop
On backdrop
Of laughter
Getting worse getting better
Changes unfettered
One o One
Metamorphosis
Lessons learnt
Pupils burnt
The eye a raging fire
Knowledge a pyre
Flame to grow
Prometheus dam
Holding back
Rivers rage
Wisdom for none to assuage
Aching of the sage
Shape my buds
To taste of honey
Flowing slow
From the flow
My chest now filled with the glow
Breaking point of seams
Riddled dreams
Orange tangerines
Bitter sweet
As I eat
Core and more through flowing streams
The memory gleams
Whistle low
Softening the blow
Drunken feet
Take to street
Where we strangers known will meet
Reviving heartbeat

Letting Go – Nitin Sawhney
Homelands – Nitin Sawhney
Breathing Light – Nitin Sawhney
Waters that we seek
26 December 2016
Grip my chin
Speak now over din
Crackled skin
Stretched too thin
Wade in waters to the shin
Reaching Star I’m in
Map a vow
Morrows look allow
Hurry now
The Earth plough
The ancient crests disavow
Valleys that they trow
Dare to speak
Turn not other cheek
Ancient Greek
Show us meek
In the tunnels baring peak
Waters that we seek
Reading of the poem:
Sleep will come – Bliss
Consensus
25 December 2016
Four horsemen
Count the sea horses
They practice
The countdown
The end of merry go round
When cheek falls to ground
Weaving threads
Three work in shadows
Their fingers
Nimble gears
Setting in motion action
A chain reaction
A ripple
Of tides uprising
Paving beds
Within shreds
Of unwoven tapestry
Penelope’s sea
Ulysses
Worn out by ventures
Flipping through
Adventures
On mantelpiece beckoning
Quiet reckoning
Past stardust
Millenary thrill
Lost in time
Echoes shrill
Ashes floating in the light
In memory the might
Wanderlust
Gnawing icicle
Frozen fear
Consensus
Nations gathered for the ban
Abort travel plan

Seagull – Sophie Barker

Préserve mon Aquitaine des complots qu’ils ourdissent
(Poème écrit sous forme de sonnet occitan en vers Alexandrin. Traduit en sonnet anglais ci-dessous ou ici)
22 décembre 2016
Retrouve dans les tanières le vieux lion affaibli
Sans passé sans demain source tarie exposer
Reléguer les rivières aux bons soins de l’oubli
Les clés du lendemain dans âme entreposer
Vois-le reprendre matière de substance anobli
Ambre et myrrhe sur jasmin un tapis déposer
Elaguer les clairières bois de teinte rétabli
Se frayer un chemin dans nos cœurs reposer
Dessine-moi un agneau vaquant libre en demeure
Cloître froideur de domaine où les bons cœurs pourrissent
Remets-moi mon anneau d’avant que je ne meure
Les loups recouvrent la plaine de nos corps se nourrissent
Ravive-moi le flambeau tendu à la vaine heure
Préserve mon Aquitaine des complots qu’ils ourdissent
Lecture du poème:
Ma Liberté – Serge Reggiani
Les Loups sont entrés dans Paris – Serge Reggiani
Le Temps qui reste – Serge Reggiani
Preserve my Aquitaine from the plots they prepare
(Translation into a sonnet in English from a French occitan sonnet written in Alexandrin. See original above or here)
22 December 2016
Find hidden in the dens the old lion weakened
With no past no morrow dried shrunken source expose
Relegating rivers to care of oblivion
The keys of tomorrow within the soul dispose
See him resume matter of substance ennobled
Amber and myrrh on jasmine a carpet depose
Prune the trees in clearings wood in hue established
Plowing hard a pathway into our hearts repose
Draw me a little lamb running free in the shed
Cloister cold of domain where good hearts are rotting
Relinquish to me ring from before I was dead
The wolves cover the plain make our bodies repair
Revive in me the torch stretched to vain time ticking
Preserve my Aquitaine from the plots they prepare

Error is Human
20 December 2016
Stick measures
Prodded cattle’s spine
Wine and dine
Meat so fine
Red more than colour brandished
Choice that mouth relished
They feed us
Darkness in a spree
Jerking knee
Fear to flee
Heart knows more than what eye sees
Willful chance to seize
Consume me
My flesh wanton gift
Mend the rift
Spirit lift
Still the hunger in the heart
No souls to depart
Lost pleasures
None in mind to hate
Check me mate
Bid me spate
I will waters overcome
For my Kingdom come
They see us
When we split in three
Hollow sea
Trinity
Casting net to kill disease
An evil to cease
Reveal me
Of thunder in dust
Earthen crust
Steel in rust
See in me anew the man
Error is Human
Reading of the poem:
Rise like a Phoenix – Conchita Wurst
Inside Dust and Rain
18 December 2016
The plans grand
Breathless humour brand
Shifting sand
Netherland
Sum of all insanity
Equators disband
They demand
Spin out of control
Two-way land
Rising stand
Ruling factions reprimand
Mind traps beyond bland
Intellect
More than mind to know
Heart to show
His hands slow
Curving matter beyond glow
Where light meets the pulse
Past regret
Bids no future time
Spoken rhyme
Broken spine
You will bring back what was mine
Beyond cherry trees
Tragic quirks
Inside shadow lurks
Tight-lipped smirks
Leveled perks
Renouncing calamity
Master derails train
Magic works
Inside Dust and Rain
Wipe the stain
Heal the pain
Teardrops falling on the plain
Where we meet again
Reading of the poem:
Song for my Father – Brett Anderson
Back to You – Brett Anderson & Emmanuelle Seigner

Blue kingdoms my fleet
16 December 2016
Genius
The light in the mind
Two of kind
Blood rewind
A twin bird from a dark cell
Ripping cage corners
Ravenous
Brittle Heart’s outcry
From the split
Of close knit
A chest breaking teeth to grit
Skies path candlelit
Gracious
Punctuality
Kings respect
None to fret
We hasten to seconds met
Within Earthly Times
Radius
Mid of my circle
Riddled Pi
My mind’s eye
Takes me places where I lie
Within God’s bosom
Glorious
Unveiled symphonies
Mind at ease
None to tease
Cradled lion on his knees
Master of the breeze
Rapturous
Final encounter
Your footstep
In Heartbeat
The bells ringing as we meet
Blue kingdoms my fleet
Reading of the poem:
Closure – Arcana
Medea – Arcana
Lost in Time – Arcana
In Memoriam – Arcana

Inside there is a soft glow
15 December 2016
The ship sails
The fallen sea wails
Burnt willows
My pillows
Embers flushing on my cheek
Glistening tears of meek
Resurrect
The Enchanted Times
Through my rhymes
Stand erect
Shaking off dust of neglect
Under the new moon
Silver trails
Hovering within
Of stardust
Of falling light
Of remnants of the lost might
Earthen reckonings
Wing that sings
Over the rooftops
Night kissed flight
Day dream bright
The feathers a path of clues
Withered chains to lose
Twirl me slow
Through the waking tides
Peace blossoms
Horseman rides
Multiply where he divides
Our bosoms anchors
Feet strike three
The Dawn strikes at six
We sing low
Humming birds
Inside there is a soft glow
Expanding in bricks

Pequeña – La Milonga del Treno
