birthday song -
(écrit le 6 novembre)
everything has been said
everything has been sung
it's hard to find the words
when your world's falling down
you appeared here one day
flying down from out there
since then you're everywhere
even when you're away
we meet up on a thread
as fragile as the breeze
love at your fingertips
when you shut up i bleed
everyday i write a few verses for you
i keep them for myself
it's too soon to be true
it's your birthday, boy
and you're nowhere to be found
i wish i was around
i wish i was around
wherever it leads us
honey i don't give a shit
life is just not worth
if i live without it
let it call love,
or anything else you'd like
when you find your soulmate
you just gotta do things right
please don't get mad
if it takes me some time
before we share daylight
if you knew that in my dreams i already call you mine
sleep well, soulmate
it's time for me to go
i'll love you all night long
and when morning rises, i'll love you even more

De très belle chose dans la langue de Shakespeare (dont le magnifique "to share daylight". Oui partager la lumière du jour est peut être un des essentiels de la vie ?).
Ton troisième quatrain me rappelle un poème écrit en anglais (posté ici sur mon site Jardin de Lune), "the thread" où je disais "you're the thin thread beetwenn Nothingness and Eternity".
Symbole de la fragilité du fil de nos existence. A bientôt Ici-bas. Take care.
Cordialement. Philip

Merci de partager avec nous ce joli poème in English.
"everyday i write a few verses for you
i keep them for myself",
"when you find your soulmate
you just gotta do things right", tout est dit et bravo.
Un poème comme le disait si bien Robert Frost "A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness".
Au plaisir de vous lire.
A bientôt
Amicalement
