1. _ Incestuous Love
My love, my sweet, my king
My child whom i adore
My love, my sweet, my law
My other self
You are the setting sun
Fallen to the ground
You are my final spring
My god, how i love you
I've already made my way
I went towards silence
With such impudence
I wanted no one no more
I hurried into autumn
My final autumn, perhaps
I desired nothing no more
But like a miracle
You came into my light
And you, my love, my king
Breaking my frontiers
But you, my setting sun
My sky, my ground
You gave me all your years
From your heart
You are my final spring
My god, how i love you
I always thought that love
That the most beautiful love
Was one that's incestuous
There was in your eyes
There was in your eyes
A luminous tenderness
You wanted us to live
The most beautiful love
Love the most beautiful
I reopened my house
My large windows
And i crowned your brow
I kissed your mouth
You, my adolescent
You, my heartache
You have laid your 20 years
With my 40
For scarcely are they born
Than they're already condemned
Love of desperation
That never deadens
This diamond that was given us
I burnt our cathedral
Love the most beautiful
The most beautiful love
Is the one that's incestuous (adieu)
Goodbye, my child, my king
My love whom i adore
One day you will understand
That when one loves
One must leave the most beautiful
And conceal the pain
My love, my child, king
I leave, i love you
This is the truth
From the depths of my heart

2. _ My Little Lovers
A tearful tincture washes
The cabbage green skies
Beneath the dribbling tree
With tender shoots...
Your raincoats
White with special moons
With round eyes
Knock together your kneecaps
My ugly ones
We loved each other
At that time
Blue, ugly one
We ate soft boiled eggs
And chickweed
One evening, you anointed me poet
Blond ugly one
Come down here that i may whip you
Across my lap
I spewed your brilliantine
Black, ugly one
You would chop my mandolin
On the edge of my brow
Ugh! my dried saliva
Red-haired, ugly one
Still infects the trenches
Of your round breast
Oh my little lovers
How i hate you
Plaster with painful blisters
Your ugly tits
Stamp on my old pots
Of sentiment
Come on up
Be ballerinas for me
Just for a minute
Ohhhh.....
Your shoulder blades
Are dislocated
Oh, my loves
A star on your lame back
Turn your turns
And yet it's for these mutton shoulders
That i've written poems
I would like to smash your hips
For having loved
Pointless heap of failed stars
Crowd the corners
You will burst in god
Saddled with ignoble worries
Beneath the special moons
With round eyes
Knock together your kneecaps
My ugly ones!

3. _ A Man
I really must stop always being the child
Chasing his youth his heart, nose to the wind
I really must cure my tender nostalgia
Bury deep my stars beneath the veil of night
I must postpone my spanish ch |
4. _ Undress Me
Undress me
Undress me
But not right away
Not too fast, eh!
Can you crave for me?
Desire me?
Enthral me
Undress me
Undress me
But don't be like the first time
Or go too crazy
First look at the truth
Take time to proceed
Don't be uncouth
Or show your greed
Devour me with your eyes
But be cautious
I'll become ravenous
By and by
Undress me
Deshabillez moi
But not right away
Not too fast, eh!
Can you hypnotise me?
Envelop me?
Capture me
Undress me
Undress me
But with some tact
And be exact
And dextrous
Choose your words with care
Control yourself, be strict
Not too slow nor quick
On my skin
There that's it, i'm trembling
And offer much to your expert touch
Oh, come on!
Undress me
Deshabillez moi
I want it right away
Go faster, it's okay
Can you possess me?
Consume me?
Burn me...up!
Undress me
Undress me
Behave like a lover
And be a lover
Do it!
Undress me
Come on, undress me
And you......undress yourself

5. _ The Slave
In a byzantine harem
Where, seeking paradise,
I'd disguised myself as a dog,
A slave told me:
Me, i'd like heavy pearls
Enamelled black pearls
To be dumb, and almost deaf
So that you'd soothe me with words
Words which resemble the sea
Words that one sees through
Words of bitterness and love
Tender words, severe words
Me, i'd like crowded rooms
Where stretched out naked on all fours
Encircled by dogs and chains
Tasting mysterious liquors
Drinks of life and drinks of death
Cups filled to the brim
I place my moist and eager lips
On the kneeling stools therein
Me i'd like a black slave
With the white teeth, strong and cruel
Who'd split my shackles wide
And who'll take me to the sky
In the damp languor of evening
Me all white, and he all black
He'd bite my body, sliding
With a serpent slow...attack
Me, i'd like to be a young woman
Behind glass and iron bars
As pleasure takes my every breath
Until sleep, until death
Beneath my purple-blue eyelids
You know, i have only one thought
To be a woman, yes, it's true
To be a real woman
God.....please...please

6. _ Secret Child
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
Closing my eyes, i see him
Running, falling on a beach
Where the sea is always blue
He collects the sea shells
To build me castles in the air
And offer me wondrous journeys
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
His hair curly, and so soft
His two hands just like yours
No longer release what they hold
He brings me back to my springtime
And just the same as when you're glad
His eyes become colours of flowers
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
He lives inside me
Secret....small...intrusive
Sometimes he steals
My dreams
But when my eyes
Are sparkling from
The burning salts of sorrow
His become the black of the lost
I think he often sees this state
And from the deep within myself
Splashes the laughter of the child
He lives inside me
Secret....small...the child
The child.....i will never....have from you

7. _ Abel And Cain
(race of abel)
Eat, sleep and drink
God smiles on you contentedly
(race of cain)
In filth and stink grovel
And die wretchedly
(race of abel)
Your sacrifice smells good
To an angel's nose
(race of cain)
What's the price
Of your torment and woes?
(race of abel)
Watch your seeds sprout
Your cattle grow fat
(race of cain)
Your guts plead
For hunger howls like a wild cat!
(race of abel)
Warm your insides
At the patriarchal fire
(race of cain)
In your dank hides poor jackals
Trembling and dire
(race of abel)
Make love and spawn
For your gold will likewise delight
(race of cain)
When your hearts burn
Watch out for such appetites
(race of abel)
Grow and graze
Devour the world like the pest
(race of cain)
Along rough ways
Drag your families in distress
(race of abel)
Your foul carcass
Will manure the reeking ground
(race of cain)
Up off your arse
Your work is once again found
(race of abel)
Here's your shame
The fire is vanquished by the rod
(race of cain)
Take up your claim
Out of the heavens fling god!

8. _ Lost Paradise
Here is lost paradise
It's here, it's here
Lost paradise, it's here
It's here
Lost paradise, it's here
It's the toy
Broken in the sad child's hand
The one loved so dear
The one like gold
It's a sudden end to childhood's wonderland
A spring that's swiftly grown too old
Here is lost paradise
It's here, it's here
Lost paradise it's here
It's here
Lost paradise it's here
It's the last kiss
That's faded on our lips
From a first love
That quickly parted
One praises to the sky
On our knees in worship
And there we're left
Broken hearted
It's that which escapes us
In the course of our lives
That cannot be retained
With no remembrance
It's only melancholy that survives
Through our painful resonance
It's happiness which passes
And leaves us behind
We couldn't hold it for
It was too whole
We couldn't follow our confidence
Undermined for fear of sinking
Being out of control
Here is lost paradise
It's here, it's here
Lost paradise it's here
It's here
Lost paradise it's here
It's a sleepy town
On the edge of the frontier
It's a dead letter
One has read too late
It's the last love that one believes
Sincere, a failed rendezvous
That would have sealed our fate
Here is lost paradise
It's here, it's here
Lost paradise it's here
It's here
Lost paradise it's here

9. _ In Your Bed
How good it must be
In your bed
Let me slip beneath the pile
The sky tells me nothing worthwhile
It will rain again it said
And me so alone in my bed
I think of people of my years
Who take wives, husbands, or lovers
For their stormy nights ahead
How good it is
In your bed
How the feathers are so snug
I would enter like a drug
If you weren't so noisy right
Too many sermons in the night
Are you scared of me touching you?
Open your sheets
Shut your mouth too
Now it's too late
I'm there
It's almost too hot
In your bed
Beneath the thick blanketing
Turn off the lights it's upsetting
Come close to me
I beg of you
I'll enjoy what you do
Just say how and just say when
And if a gourmand de cr |
10. _ Rues Des Blancs-manteaux
In the rue des blancs-manteaux
They raised a wooden stage
Threw some bran in a basket
And there was the scaffold
In the rue des blancs-manteaux
In the rue des blancs-manteaux
The executioner rose at dawn
He had a job to do
He must chop the generals, bishops and admirals too
In the rue des blancs-manteaux
Into the rue des blancs-manteaux
Came the well-bred women
With their precious jewels
But the heads they turned them
Rolling from on high
Heads stuck in their hats
In the gutter of the blancs-manteaux

11. _ Yesterday When I Was Young
Yesterday when i was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way the evening breeze may tease the candle flame
A thousand dreams i dreamed
The splendid things i planned
I always built alas on weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
And only now i see how the years ran away
Yesterday when i was young
So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation i can now recall
Concerned itself with me, me, me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
That never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love i played with arrogance and pride
And every flame i lit too quickly quickly died
The friends i made all seemed somehow drift away
And only i am left on stage to end the play
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
The time has come for me to pay
For yesterday....when i was young, young, young,......young

12. _ Remorse Of The Dead
My dark beloved
When you lie asleep
Deep within your black marble tomb
For alcove and lodge
You will keep a damp, dripping vault
A pit of gloom
And when the stone
Weighing down your breast
And your thighs once supple
Through scant concern
Stills your heart
From it's desiring quest
Fastens your feet
From the reckless run
The grave, which shares
My eternal dream
For the poet the grave always understands
During long nights
When sleep is far away
Will ask: what do you gain
You dumb whore
Not to have known what the dead cry for?
And, like remorse,
At your flesh worms will gnaw
