Spleen s’est absenté dans île aux oiseaux
12 janvier 2016
J’ai en mon cœur bleu un brin d’océan
Une vague de tumultes des oiseaux en cage
Des mémoires occultes qui effacent les pages
Voyez comme il pleut sur mes joues et flancs
Sombre et silencieux mon cœur dans ces rangs
Par l’esprit exulte bois d’autres cépages
Ame se catapulte au gré de l’orage
L’osé le scabreux feutrés vieux élans
J’ai le cœur si vieux des siècles ont passé
La mer s’est teintée des outre tombeaux
Les ans langoureux d’éclats effacés
Des bras éreintés étreignent les maux
Ebats amoureux de désirs lassés
Spleen s’est absenté dans île aux oiseaux
La mémoire et la mer – Léo Ferré
La solitude – Léo Ferré
Les amants tristes – Léo Ferré
Avec le temps – Léo Ferré

Dajena is right, this was like experiencing the rise and fall of emotions in an opera…your opening line created a soothing image however the proceeding lines described a sense of being trapped or the inability to escape the clutches of something evil…a decades old soul, incarcerated, attempting to catapult itself, always failing….eventually it gives in a d accepts where it is…sigh…this is so heavy…

Okay, one more 🙂
Beautiful imagery! It invokes in me the feelings of watching a good opera! Carmen was the first one that came to mind. Bravo!

I forgot to aid Butterfly which was the very first opera I saw as a child. It had a tremendous impact on me 🙂

Thank you Jean Paul, what a lovely compliment! I hope there will be no end to it as many people tell me my writing has had therapeutic effects on them (thankfully not in the knocking them to sleep way).
I love your writing as well. It really always gets me in good mood however difficult the day may have been. Thanks for reading and appreciating 🙂
