Eyes downcast
The moon spoke to me
Of her past
Silvery
when her rays were more than words
homecoming of birds

They call shrill
nesting to declare
I survey
birds of prey
Their claws rake my window sill
for my wits to snare

Tomorrows
neat as sleek primrose
they spell hunt
with knives blunt
The sharpening on the knee
my white bones to see

Sense the blair
It smells monsoon’s flare
wars to win
through the din
Pouring rains wash off the bloods
unruly the floods

Weather dreams
inside out it screams
Dead the king
song to sing
the banshees wail upside down
downfall of the crown

The sun sweeps
its rays stricken bare
dragon sleeps
in its lair
My prince for now bedraggled
my eyes bedazzled

Concealment my art

Concealment my art
22 March 2024


Muffled sounds
overtaking hums
Misguided
beating drums
summoning the dead to grounds
where sleep the sacred

They wither
under silent eye
snakes slither
to my midst
their venom laid on my wrist
bidding a goodbye

Open ways
between life and death
Dream of Seth
becomes me
The suspended sentence stays
future eulogy

My talk bites
into lined hurdles
flying kites
latch circles
circumference the riddle
Pi down the middle

Unknown math
geometry skewed
unveils wrath
of the lewd
they think in piles of gold coins
head, black tails and loins

I redress
the damages kept
within heart
Sorrow swept
right under carpets I press;
concealment my art

Je recherchais en dunes l’expression du profil
de l’aimé reconnaître traits vivants aiguisés
De nuit pâleur de lune croise mon battement de cil
sortilège à renaître pour mes veines enlisées

De leur bouche les lacunes médisances serviles
des dédits me repaître mes atours méprisés
bleue sirène en lagune fus-je donc proie facile
des desseins champêtres pour mes sens dégrisés

Dans les champs s’étendaient des oiseaux bleu azur
de leur bec font frémir étendards argentés
que les cieux abattaient sans commune mesure
pour les cœurs faire gémir sentiers vains arpentés

Lecture du poème:
Brief translation into English

For hearts to groan, vain paths trodden
21 mars 2024

I was looking in the dunes for the expression of the profile
of the beloved to recognize sharp living features
Of night the pallor of the moon crosses my fluttering lashes
spell to be reborn for my trapped veins

From their mouths the lacks servile backstabbing
From denials to nourish myself my finery despised
blue mermaid in the lagoon was I an easy prey
of rural designs for my sobered senses

In the fields blue birds spread themselves
from their beaks make shiver silvery banners
that the heavens fell without common measure
for hearts to groan, vain paths trodden

La Blessure – Emmanuel Moiré

It started
when they constrained me
they harboured
brittle talks
It is within our own walks
that we are steady

Bear no spate
every tongue too weak
to relate
what we speak
the strength within our backbone
only skill to hone

They drown me
within scores of sheets
My name tag
it repeats
Foe within chest as I gag
spewing remedy

My chest weighs
a hundred kisses
like feather
moss and heather
everything my heart misses
that their henchmen raze

Levelled grounds
witness the lost heights
Dire straits
steer off sounds
Composure of lost powers
plunge from high towers

Open eyes
speak to me of sighs
Love wholesome
within bosom
opening my wings to fly
I seize the night sky

Darting rays
stray on my figure
steel back stays
keeps my rigor
Icy bone follows my stare
sprinkles snow in air

Tall and stout
I wander about
white hairs play
with the sun
I was once the chosen one
now battered relay

Clouds are lost
in my sullen hope
I will frost
to delay
lessons teaching ways to cope
between night and day

Challenges
tear my thinning hair
Wilting mind
avenges
airborne strikes that rip me bare
blizzard’s shapes to find

Packing bags
other places rise
once in rags
now arise
treasures born from my own kind
other days rewind

There is light
in the raging snow
I must fight
sleet to go
wading in ice to the knee
An endless journey

The ominous ice

The ominous ice

Sulphur glides
under earthen crust
Fire flies
within skies
Erupted volcano rides
blackened soil and dust

Lava flows
onto reddened Earth
Changed the stance,
lost the mirth,
they survey the starlit dance
as the twilight grows

Moon looming
overlooks Big Blue
rockets flung
Mars grooming
Pretext that turned so untrue
Just a trompe l’oeil hung

Time matters
As the clocks unwind
hide of blind
Blood splatters
over eyes that do not see
stark reality

Parched throats cry
symphony of dark
their chests sigh
while they flail
their bodies search the lost spark
one that told a tale

Angels start
the oncoming flight
they play part
through stark plight
Dominion’s auction set price
the ominous ice

Summertime
dawned on me to rest
sizzling heat
earthen wine
a closed circuit to repeat
explosion of chest

I breathed low
laden particles
Like first snow
within lung
bringing cool of icicles
to my frame they’ve clung

The ice froze
the daylight’s dazzle
splinters cried
as they died
ice and light relentless foes
a misty frazzle

Hand absorbs
the sparkling shimmer
Flowing orbs
show so slight
the fluctuating sunlight
its pulses glimmer

As ray sits
I see the shadows
their grey shows
inner light
It reveals a different sight
within opposites

See through me
windows within frame
I foresee
what they show
the tender limbs that they maim
a stark death to flow

To forget
what transpired within
body kept
paper thin
The borders that became blurred
from reasons unheard

Get me maps
of ancient lines drawn
under wraps
over trails
extent of which my mind fails
to see those withdrawn

I will walk
in valleys strewn red
where roses
their blood shed
in dilemma this poses
for the biased talk

I tower
vengeful and irate
through power
over fields
Passion in my body yields
old codes to translate

There is fire
diluting in veins
it brings stains
into heart
burnt cinders that charred higher
vessels it could smart
