Beam: a valediction

A smile

A tear

The reflection of the smile lies within the tear

The tear on the lips

Lips like painted daggers

An enchanted body

Coal-skin rivers

Water whispers the endless sentence of the stars

A touch

A stain on the body

Memory

A void behind a void

The many trees of truth bear the fruits of the night

Eagle dream

Eager crow

Wide-eyed children fall from beams of a peculiar glow

Skyless bird

Wings never heard

The blue wolves of dawn blow a thousand freckles of joy

Dry light

Winewashed paws

King size roads

A stray dog

A strange smile

I'm a rather eclectic person who needs to express himself, create & share. For several years I've done it mainly through books of short poetry like haïkus and aphorisms. Since graduation, I've also been a lecturer of French language & literature, but time has come to move ; the road is my empty page now.
