I dreamed of living volcanoes of fire,

Sea hurricanes raging,

Cracks of groaning earth,

Lava flows into the ocean.
 

Excerpt from the poem

“I dreamed of living”

In the night there is the dream,

A circus of floating characters,

Weightless like pieces of imagination,

Pèle mixes above my sleep.

The red, in fireworks,

Has sown kisses of poppies,

In the slow breathing of tender colored fields...

Gray beaded rain  of autumn.

I wrote with ink and kalam,

Your name on a floating paper,

In the sand dunes,

On your face and in the bored air...

Paris my love,

You run in my veins since before me...

I hug you  before the day surprises us.

Between your arms, I throb and roll up.

I hear the silence,

Tiny plot of a waterfall,

Dew on the velvet of a leaf,

Whirlwind of a vanished wind.

Pearls laugh out loud on the eardrum of my heart

The words, like perfumes, dress my silences...

The child, listening to Mozart,

Laughed at the world that lights up,

to the sparks,

Whispers of gold on our eardrums.

Your eyes lost as answers to my questions,

In my old age, my wear and tear.

I stagger to wait for you,

You from me, my scratch.

A blue island facing the ocean,

Posed like a seagull on the wave,

An island blue like a shining stone,

On the windy horizon.

I listen to you and smell you,

My nostrils buried in your laces.

Aerials, you barely exist,

In the floating world of silence.

​​​

The flowery cells in my head,

left me before my last departure,

Leaving me cruelly alone and distraught,

Lost in a nothingness that settles.

The waves of a mythical ocean,

surge under my closed eyelids,

Leaving cemeteries of stars to time,

Lights extinguished, vertigo of shadows.

​​​

There are words we don't want to say,

Which remain in the throat when the child asks,

so heavy they are,

How strong they are.

Look at them,

In their eyes you will see yours,

The ones you had when, helpless,

You were looking for affection.

Deep inside me, a singular murmur,

A sea stained with foam,

A sky that scratches the eyes,

A dark night to listen to.

​​​

I soar in the haze of clouds

And fly free like the pollen of the tree,

Lay me down on the dew before it settles,

Lie down in the hollow of the evening mist.
