The rose that is laid down pours in heart blue waters
(Poem written originally as a French Shakespearian sonnet in Alexandrin. See original in French here or here)

Bits of conversation hidden traces of words
Listening slow flavour millimeters distilled
Silence elevation a rampart for idols
Tender is engraver parts glittering beauties
Sweetness in narration the stories to be told
From word to word spreads out a field full of flowers
Miracle constellation a fate to foretell
Pure heart inhibited will enclose itself in lures
Lie to me then sweetly from atop your ramparts
I will give you sweet food from most beautiful cook
From eye that all watches I will shape you through art
See her as she dances in me lives Mélusine
At corner of the creek parades a small starling
The rose that is laid down pours in heart blue waters
