Nighthawks

Phillies"Look, there's Nighthawks." Yeah.
The glass could be an oven door, behind which
all the baking heat curls back upon itself,
but I won't visit that knowledge upon you.
You operate at such high speed
and pitch, lining
your hands in ink, chasing the endless
up-and-down of undampened
self-reflection,
your moon and stars pawned off,
the story frozen. No. Look, there's a work
of art
,
some upturned nose,
or sky chameleon.

Dimensions

leftMy windows glimmer starlight  
I dream awake adventures  
Compass roses  
unknown in all the fine dimensions  
Anchors left behind  
along with earth  
and all else dreary

:bulletblue: FRANCO Prise de fer érotique

:iconalittlebitdreamer:

Prise

Lacher l affaire"Et si on parlait..."
Tes paroles volent dans les airs!
J'ai lâché prise.
Les chutes colorent le sol.
Les actes élèvent la vie!

de fer

Age de ferAge de fer
Au soir, l'hiver, le père rentrait à la chaumière,
Après un dur labeur, dans le bois solitaire,
Sa hache a entaillé plusieurs troncs centenaires,
Le manche a de sa main, endurci la lanière,
Tandis que tournoyait, le bras portant le fer ;
Et c'est pour les enfants, attentifs et vivants,
Qu'il soutient tout l'effort d'un cœur toujours ardent.
Sur les genoux déjà ils s'affairent heureux,
Réjouissant maman et la suivant des yeux.
Repartant dans la brise au jour du lendemain,
C'est cette image-là qu'il emporte sur le chemin,
Qu'il garde tout le jour, présente en son esprit,
Et quand, par la fatigue, son corps est assoupi,
Quand, à grands coups portés, au cœur du bois sonore,
Il a fourbu ses bras, ses reins et tout son corps,
Et chaque soir, ainsi recommençant encore,
Il a rempli sa tâche, sans penser à la mort,
Sans penser au repos, ni aux affres du sort,
Car ce n'est pas en soi que portait


:iconptitjo:

érotique

Triptyque erotiqueLa blonde
Dans les draps froissés
Un sourire d'or
Quelques mots glissés
Juste avant l'aurore
La brune
Étreindre la lune
Tendrement lové
Au creux de la brune
Perlée de rosée
La rousse
Aux courbes d'albâtre
S'abreuve l'amant
Au coin de l'âtre
Ô feu brulant

Two days ago, Jeff Hanneman passed away... R.I.P.

One of my favorite songs from Slayer, "South of Heaven" - In the south of my journal, so. A sort of unexpected dialogue between him and sister marie Keyrous - everyone of us has his own duality. The "grey shadow" owes much to this song.



A little thing I wrote yesterday in his memory:

Assaisonner les abysses / Seasoned in the abyssIl vogue au sud
cascadé de chaos rampant
- spirit in black
Cascaded by crawling chaos
he sails south - spirit
in black
Frantz, mai 2013.

All category & special prize from the public

First place : english / french poetry / french prose / visual

:iconlabruyere: :iconthe-mirrorball-man: :iconankerstilte:
Fortresses SurrenderedYou burnt to ashes all my heart and soul,
Turning me upon my heart and soul,
Every pillar lost from my control.
Oh how greatly I rely on me,
More than anyone I trust in me,
And in this state I feel more truly free.
No, perhaps my joy is all misplaced,
My love and time and energy misplaced,
My walls were strong until they were defaced.
Take heart in knowing you have made me fall.
You desired most that I should fall.
All I ever hid behind; each wall.
You remain the greatest, I the least;
I rue the joy that forced my pride to cease.
Notre Forteresse BruleComme un feu de broussaille mon truc t’assaille et trouve la faille
En ordre de bataille je lâche l’étincelle dans la paille
Et mes pages se propagent à la nage, crient "à l’abordage!"
Des rimes gazolines qui rament dans l’hémoglobine
Les fidèles étincelles qui ruissellent de flammes assassines
Pas de larmes, pas de triche, pas de drames et surtout pas de quartier
C’est le petit coup de dark dans un grand pot de crack
C’est le boum boum tchak qui charcute façon uppercut
C’est le Capitaine Fracasse qui se débarrasse de ta carcasse
C’est ma technique nickel qui éclate les décibels, ma belle
Quand le crâne des braques se détraque à grands coups de crosse
Je désosse fastoche les tiédasses qu’amassent la crasse
Aucun calcul, diablesse, fini le temps des préambules
Il y a de la casse à chaque fois que ma pendule coll

Second place : english / french poetry / french prose / visual

*Pyre*On the horizon see that blaze
Fortresse in flames,  tears in gaze
We burn with creativity, poetic desire
Words on the pyre, purged by fire.
Purged by fire like Phoenix we rise
Poetic desire paints beautiful skies
Down to earth the forteresse is safe
The flames contained, literature safe.

:thumb349114670: Heart of Sword.Les mirages, aussi trompeurs peuvent-ils être, ont une beauté indéniable.
Je me souviens de cette brume féerique dans laquelle baignait le château de mon enfance.
Elle limitait la vision de celui qui s'aventurait sur les murailles aux environs immédiats.
La forêt voisine disparaissait dans l'étreinte des nuages bleutés.
Le parfum qui s'en dégageait était doux et léger, apportant à celui qui le respirait une sérénité incomparable.
Le vent et la pluie n'avaient aucun effet sur elle.
Une seule chose parvenait à la dissiper et l'effacer progressivement : le temps.
L'impitoyable sablier dévoilait peu à peu les éléments du décor environnant, encourageant la fillette que j'étais à alimenter le feu de sa curiosité.
À abaisser le pont-levis.
À franchir les douves.
Respirer l'odeur de la forêt après une longue averse.
Errer entre les titans de bois.
Arpenter les tortueux sentiers des montagnes.
Parvenir, enfin, au sommet.
S'avancer avec appréhension vers l'extrémité de la falaise.
Baisser les ye

Congratulations Heather! A fantastic blues sonnet :) I'd like to comment it (a real comment, I mean), but, in regard of my english practice, I don't want to be ridiculous.

Dear members of the Fortress, salutations! Today we received the fantastic Nikki for our second bilingual interview. She is one of my friends here on DA, a person of quality, and I would like everyone to know her better! So here's Nikki :
Note : French version below // version française plus bas

1. Hi Nikki ! Thank you for taking the time to do this interview. Could you please introduce yourself to our readers?  
Hi! I'm Νίκη, in my native language. (:
I was born in Athens, Greece, but lived my childhood years in different cities around the country..until my parents thought that maybe changing five schools in eight years was enough for me, and so they transplanted me back to Athens. Little did they know that the seeds of continuous moving were, by then, blossoming in this nomadic heart. After leaving my country years ago to study
