love chooses love without changing its face
translated by Stuart Kendall
a logic
if but so
three little words
when used with clauses
with sentences
in that order
predicate a logic
to follow
difficult to refute
poem IV by Paul Eluard
I told you for the clouds
I told you for the sea tree
for each wave for the birds in the leaves
for pebbles of noise
for the familiar hands
for the eye that becomes a face or a landscape
and the sleep that renders the sky from its color
for the entire drunken night
for the grid of the roads
for the open window for an uncovered face
I told you for your thoughts for your words
every caress every confidence endures.
translated by Stuart Kendall
taking the lead from Paul Eluard: within dreams: for Anas Azkoul
memory stirs
within dreams
and we walk
in houses
long lost
to the past
with ghosts
of those we loved
still love
in dreams
and upon waking
walking in houses
today
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. ~ Sir Richard Steele
from the blog A Pondering Mind
from poem VII by Paul Eluard
Silence has in its breast
all the heart’s extinguished flames.
Among the starbursts of memory
the plains extend storms
and kisses multiply.
In the grand reflectors of dreams.
translated by Stuart Kendall
from a poem by Paul Eluard
I looked for you beyond waiting
beyond myself
and I love you so much that I no longer know
which of us is absent.
translated by Stuart Kendall
