Feel the beat

Reach you through the heat

Morrow’s wave

Receding

The pulse retreating to mark

Peak of tidal throb

 

Feel it bob

Nothing left to rob

Within head

Daily bread

The soul remains out of reach

Rules you cannot breach

 

Feel it come

The end of your sum

Over slum

Minds go mum

Uprooted lions now brew

Fires of their crew

 

Heat to face

Winning through the Grace

Three by one

Fate undone

Curvature beyond Disgrace

Breaking the rat race

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou / The essence of debates confounded in the blur

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou

(Poème écrit en vers Alexandrin sous forme de sonnet occitan. Voir traduction ci-bas ou ici)

10 mars 2017

 

Les expériences passées sur un tréteau reposent

Où la mémoire dessine des rondeurs de l’été

De printemps trépassés par des cœurs qui disposent

Vagues d’amour par Ondine qui ressoude l’étêté

 

Les mémoires effacées émergent des temps moroses

Où la vague serpentine clôt sentiers répétés

Dans les déserts glacés où les malheurs s’exposent

Quand la fée Mélusine en des fers fut jetée

 

Ouvrez grandes les oreilles guidez droit les cœurs las

Il arrive des combats dont vous ignorez tout

Oublié le sommeil dominés entrelacs

 

Nous vivrons des ébats en ultimes rendez-vous

Dans des cœurs rouge vermeil en bordure de lilas

L’essentiel des débats éperdus dans le flou

Amen Hayr Sourp (Amen Holy Father) – Levon Minassian

 

The essence of debates confounded in the blur

(Translation of a poem written in Alexandrin verse in Occitan sonnet form. See original above or here)

10 March 2017

 

The past experiences upon a trestle lay

Where the memory draws all the curves of summer

From the forgotten springs by the hearts which dispose

Waves of love through Ondine who welds the beheaded

 

The erased memories emerge from gloomy times

Where the serpentine wave closes repeated trails

In the frozen deserts where misfortunes unfold

When fairy Melusine in iron chains was thrown

 

Now open wide your ears guide right the weary hearts

Upcoming are battles of which you know nothing

Forgotten the old sleep dominated criss-cross

 

We will live happiness in ultimate meetings

Within vermilion hearts bordering on lilac

The essence of debates confounded in the blur

Beyond Mind

Lies a grid’s patchwork

It pulsates

Dominates

The Energy laminates

Windmills of the old

 

Copper Gold

Alchemist whispers

The frame terse

Brittle verse

Spells of brethren to rehearse

From core of the flame

 

Within Soul

Flies precision work

Needle’s eye

Guides my sigh

Lulling fumes where I rely

On your sense of scent

Pretender

Relieves the offals

Acting out

Recitals

The greatest comedy made

Unintended shade

 

They play grounds

Of staged inventions

Oscar to knave

Eyesight gave

On cowardly acting brave

For mind frame to pave

 

Changing Times

Caution to spaces

Between Core

And places

Where I teach my Self lessons

Redress of Human

Feeding herd

Revolves around me

Claws of Hawk

On the fish

The lamb is opening dish

In supper of wolves

 

Spilling yoke

The hen rescued egg

Wisps of smoke

Ribs that poke

Talismans that we invoke

Through Truths that we spoke

 

The chatter

Subsides with the winds

Flying South

Closing mouth

Face racing against the clouds

I follow the birds

Exam flunked

Student Methodist

Wood artist

With a twist

Presents trophy panelist

A fan to enlist

 

Myth debunked

Shadow turning light

Revived sight

Crouching slight

Figures dancing in the fight

Confusion of plight

 

March defunct

Pulls me to April

Window sill

Peeps on hill

Where the lovers now nest still

Forgotten the kill

They holler

Thieves in window frames

Looting free

Rage in spree

Rampant rise against justice

Excuse injustice

 

March Hatter

Demented eyes glow

The smoke slow

The holes blow

Extrusion mind and matter

Nothing that we know

 

Pinnacle

Of the moving shades

Jack of spades

In red wades

My ghost above curtain blades

Flickers as it fades

Play me games

Colour me ice flames

Fusing red

Blue that bled

Taking contours of the hue

Mixing who is who

 

Timeless space

Time to which we race

Beyond place

Beyond face

Beyond the meaning of trace

To peak of solace

 

While mighty cowers

The melding powers

They pelt us

They weld us

Beyond the trickle and fuss

Many into One

Truth unkempt

Grows shrubs of the wild

Into child

No more mild

Speaking more than what they riled

Against the odds piled

 

Child unbent

Picking up pieces

Pill fleeces

Releases

Fluttering veils it eases

Broken synapses

 

Last attempt

Of old energy

Eyes bulgy

Elegy

Heart teaches analogy

Bridges effigy

Look beyond

Your little blue pond

Particles

Of the Light

They remind you of the fight

Now relegated

 

Mind make green

The brown is over

Within spleen

Lies the sheen

Of what dominates unseen

We pick light so clean

 

Truth confide

The widow is bride

Shut Eyes Wide

Door divide

Monsters coming override

Rules reboot decide
