Fantôme

Oublié
Invisible
Sans importance
Sans consistance

J’apparais
Puis disparais
Mais personne
Ne me reconnais

Inconnu ou
Méconnu
Personne ne me voit

Qui voudrait
Oui qui voudrait
Accorder de l’intérêt
À un être de mon espèce

J’existe
Sans exister
La société
M’a effacé
De ses dossiers

Je ne suis rien
Qu’une âme
Errante
Sans but, sans fin
Sans rien

L’éternité m’a condamné
Mais l’humanité
M’a abandonné

Magical Snow

My Dearest Mad-Readers,

Yesterday, I realized some of my older blog posts needed to be a little pimped up. My style was not the same when I started blogging 5 months ago, so it's only normal I work on them again. I hope you like this new feature image and forgive such a short introduction. May you enjoy the magical snow !


Winter begins
Whiteness falls
Trees whiten
The ground gets wet
The earth rests

I look out the window
At dancing snow flakes
In such sweet wind
And unbearable cold
They fall

Tiny stars
Try to hold on
To this wet ground
Where they are
Unwelcome
They then become
Miserable puddles
Irrelevant

I stay still
Observing this quietness
Of a rare intensity
Everything is but white
Time has stopped

The sky finally blows
Breathes
Offering us
This marvelous gift


If you had a good time, don't forget to show your appreciation by liking and commenting (or even following this madly crazy blog). Feel free to stay and read some more, I'm always happy to have you here! :)

Take care,

Phil.

The Death of the Phoenix

My Dearest Mad-Readers,

Would you be against a dose of prose this afternoon (unless it is morning or night where you live) ?

* * *

Death’s shadow is drawing closer. It becomes more oppressive. The bird is here, sitting on its perch, awaiting the ultimate moment. Its livelihood is leaving. The very essence of its short existence is about to leak out. This legendary animal’s bright feathering is progressively losing its sheen. The burning fever gets more and more painful. Its heart is burning, its body gets consumed, its soul is on fire. A sharp cry tears apart the universe and the ashes of this tiny creature fall down on the ground, as simply as dust spreading through the air. It is all over. The shadow moves away, victorious.

She is gone. Her murderous work is done. She shall still need to come back, for the legendary phoenix is immortal.

* * *

If you liked this poem, perhaps you will have a good time reading this one too. In any case, I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, I'd love it if you could show your support by liking, commenting or following the (sanely) mad author that I am. You may go crazy and read every piece of writing on this blog if you wish. Thanks for your time and have a great day (or night) !

Take care,

Phil.

Hellish Chronic Whiteness

My Dearest Mad-Readers,

Re-publishing old posts can truly be a blessing. I believe this poem about an author lacking inspiration did not get the attention it deserved when I only had a handful of followers. Since this blog is a lot about sharing my work, I added a feature image to it and entirely changed the introduction. Enjoy !

I am here
Computer on
With no ideas
Nothing to explain
Or criticize
So I merely write
Without a lot to say
I remain plain
Facing this blank page
Which longs for me only
Calls for me only
Yells at me
Only
As the music murmurs
In my ears
That all I need do
Is follow its call
I let myself go
Into this vain poetry
The music speaks to me
The page is so beautiful
But so empty
I want her
And can’t help it
Though I may run
I never reach it

Thanks for spending the most valuable currency there is reading this post. I hope you liked this poem ! If you did, feel free to let me know by liking, commenting, sharing &/or sticking around for more. There are quite a few posts to read, since this is my fifth month blogging. You can also follow me (via WordPress or Email) if I am good enough an entertainer, and be sure that even greater content is yet to come !

Take care,

Phil.

Freedom

My Dearest Mad-Readers,

I have a short poem about freedom for you today which, I hope, will inspire you. Let's strive to be active individuals, who embrace all new adventures, rather than passive observers. The latter (sometimes without being aware of it) chooses to stay idle, to imprison themselves in the comfort of the day to day. They look away, but never dare they take the leap...

Salty wind
Clear sky
Repressed fear
Embraced happiness

I am sailing away
On an adventure
Hastily cruising
Steadily running

The seagull glides
The waves whip down
Never do I give way
Whilst others look away

Such a beautiful passion
A new force
Has ignited the spark
Has offered me the sky
