Au café du canal

Chez la jolie Rosette au café du canal
Sur le tronc du tilleul qui ombrageait le bal
On pouvait lire sous deux cœurs entrelacés
Ici on peut apporter ses baisers
Moi, mes baisers je les avais perdus
Et je croyais déjà avoir tout embrassé
Mais je ne savais pas que tu étais venue
Et que ta bouche neuve en était tapissée

La chance jusqu'ici ne m'avait pas souri
Sur mon berceau les fées se penchaient pas beaucoup
Et chaque fois que je tombais dans un carré d'orties
Y avait une guêpe qui me piquait dans le cou
Pourtant ma chance aujourd'hui elle est là
Sous la tonnelle verte de tes cils courbés
Quand tu m'as regardé pour la première fois
Ma vieille liberté s'est mise à tituber

On était seul au monde dans ce bal populeux
Et dans une seule main j'emprisonnais ta taille
Tes seins poussaient les plis de ton corsage bleu
Ils ont bien failli gagner le bataille
J'aime le ciel parce qu'il est dans tes yeux
J'aime l'oiseau parce qu'il sait ton nom
J'aime ton rire et tous ces mots curieux
Que tu viens murmurer au col de mon veston

Et je revois tes mains croisées sur ta poitrine
Tes habits jetés sur une chaise au pied du lit
Ton petit cœur faisait des petits bonds de sardine
Quand j'ai posé ma tête contre lui

Dieu, tu remercies Dieu ça c'est de toi
Mais mon amour pour toi est autrement plus fort
Est-ce que Dieu aurait pu dormir auprès de toi
Pendant toute une nuit sans toucher à ton corps

Chez la jolie Rosette au café du canal
Sur le tronc du tilleul qui ombrageait le bal
On pouvait lire sous deux cœurs entrelacés
Ici on peut apporter ses baisers

Thanks Daisy Jaan for asking ... I am doing well but for some reason have not been able to write ... Sima has been gone back home (for a few weeks) and a friend is visiting me for a few days now :)
How are things with you? I hope all is well.

Things that really matter

-
I remember once when I was in school, couple of friends suggested skipping the class and going to see a movie. Of course the nerd in me couldn't handle the stress of missing a lecture. So I announced that I wouldn't go with them but I would gladly go to class and share my notes with whoever likes to have them later. I don't recall the content of that lecture nor do I recall the course but I never forget that I didn't watch 'the Banu Ordibehesht' with my friends.

"Be a rainbow in someone’s cloud"

Photo from here . “God puts rainbows in the clouds so that each of us- in the dreariest and most dreaded moments- can see a possibility of hope.” Maya Angelou  Some time ago, I had the pleasure of attending one of Maya Angelou’s talks. I was very excited about listing to her. When I bought the ticket, I told to myself that was an early birthday present for me. I went for the talk to be inspired and to figure out why this woman was so successful as she was. Although I never regret going to that talk (since I learned one or two things), the talk was not as inspiring as I hoped. I had heard better talks before. She is not one of those people that I call gifted public speakers. She was witty and smart but didn’t really do it for me. However, what I learned was that I can be a rainbow in someone’s cloud. When she was talking about a rainbow, she was talking about her cripple poor uncle who not only changed her life but had an impact on other kids in the neighbourhood. When she was t...
