I AM

I claim my space
My right to be
I accept my responsibility
To pay for my own way
I choose to be happy
I choose to be bold
No man or woman
Shall deviate me
From my divine goal
I am righteous
I am Honest
I am Powerful
I am For Ever

HER SMILE

Her smile

The first time we met
We went to the movies
The usual place to meet
When two strangers who
Intend to stay strange
But feel the presence of one another

She sat besides me quietly
As we listen to everyone talking
Shyly I sat alone with my thoughts and desires
And when the others had finished talking
We sat some more in quiet darkness
Until the lights came on
As she murmured some sounds
And I replied the same way
I understood what she was trying to say
Only when I saw her smile
Instinctively I leaned over
And she kissed me for what seemed to be
An eternity...

This is so childish I thought after
But I'm still a child at heart
I must be,
I get butterflies when I see her smile at me
I dream of fairy tales still at my age
It's just the way she makes me feel
I know she could never love me
Not the way I dreamed of anyway
These vivid images in my head
Mixed with the emotions I feel
I feel like a child
Falling in love again
For the first time again
I would let myself go
But I still remember the pain
That is just as real
When love fades away

I wanna be your friend
Know your deepest secrets
Tell you all my hopes and fears
Know that I could always trust you
Chase those clouds with you
See the various shapes they take
Laugh and cry while time passes by
How childish this is...
All from her smile... to think like this. (2001)

JE ME DEFINIS

Je me définis...
Comme une personne généreuse
Comme un esprit brillant
Un être intelligent et curieux

Je me définis...
Comme un leader courageux et audacieux
Comme un guerrier fort
Comme un acteur intègre et responsable

Je me définis...
Comme je définis mon DIEU
Je suis la somme de toutes les créations
Tel j'ai été créé à son image

Je suis...
Une divinité spirituelle
Vivant une expérience humaine

Love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is done well.

- Vincent van Gogh

Heat

Summer is finally here.
We've had two weeks of intense heat.
I loved it.
After those long months of winter,
I think it's a blessing.
Trying to take it day by day.
Because when you keep staring
Too much in the future or in the past,
Great things passes you by
Even if you reach the destination
To realize what you thought
You wanted so bad
Was not of your own choice
So you'll have to retrace your path
To be where you should have been
All along...
All along the watch tower
