Seconde BFI - Poems about home 4/4
Chapter 13. 22/02/2023
The warmth of my lyrics reflect
The light of my spirit
I never liked when my pen slipt
No one liked when my thoughts slept
Sing your part of the gospel
When the storm will be over
We will still be behind the doors
Praying for our saviour, our lord
It might bring you to confusion
But it’s not about the conditions
If I keep confessing
We are lucky, all blessed
The countless times when I thought
Brought me to a conclusion
Home is a fraction of time
Might also call it a caption
?
It can be anywhere
It depends on everyone,
Somewhere you just feel safe.
You can recognise the perfume
Among a thousand.
Even blind you could visualize
Each object, each detail.
Here, problems disappear.
It is a place you cannot forget,
It is part of your life
For now, and always.
You could go all over the world,
But in the end,
You just want to be home.
Where? There.
My base, my favourite place,
There I spent my nights and days.
There is where my inner child stays,
In front of a mirror observing her face,
Wondering what’s time and what’s space;
Stunned by its pattern and pace.
Her heart is full of rooms,
Constantly waiting for people to visit and stay
All of the doors are locked she assumes?
As she watches everyone go away.
Oh, how the hours, days, years go by;
Under the starry sky
She cannot lie,
She wants to cry!
She lies down to the floor, she can’t say bye,
Looking at the stars she keeps her head high;
Loving that place so much,
There is where she digs her grave and dies.
A unique area of land
Claimed to be your own
Neither opposed nor challenged by others
A place of rest and comfort
Those twinkling lights in the gloom
A refuge from the storm
The pitter patter of the deluge
Safely imprisoned behind walls
The origins of many memories
With friends, family and more
A protection from the challenges of life
A place where you can lie down and sigh a sigh of relief
They come in many different shapes and sizes
But all share a common purpose
Many of us envy others
And we take what we are given
A unique area of land
Claimed to be your own
Neither opposed nor challenged by others
A place of rest and comfort
Snails
I am a snail.
Free and volatile
the most personal part of an individual
hidden behind my face, my lips, teeth, eyes
is home, Mind
From chaos to peace over again
translator of the heart
to the earth I will carry you
searching for solutions
in the world of answers
a welter of us choosing a Shell.
Miss you
the moon rises, bright and beautiful,
its cold light embracing my skin
is reminiscent of our union
during those summer nights.
the stars are shivering,
showing our glimmering memories.
I hear you laughing,
I see you smiling.
the skies are crying,
the souls are dying
as you are screaming :
« I miss you ! »
and I do too.
For me it used to be a place,
Where the summer birds whistle softly.
It was a safe place of slow pace.
For me, it is a type of pray
Of acceptance and happiness
For all the long monotone days.
For me it will always be something,
That reassures and helps me to keep,
My head out of water, during the cold winters.
I know that it won’t be easy
In the future to feel as it was, it is and i hope, will be,
But the time when I feel lovely,
Is not over, in my dream.
