The Shelf

You've changed everything about yourself 
You've put  another book in the  shelf 
Where is the beautiful dark cover ? 
What about the golden letters that were written on it? 
I remember  the tenderness was like sheep hair  
The pages told a story of strength and  honor 
The chapters told a story of a great African empire
But now, there is another book in the shelf 
It is beige , it is not dark 
It's not sheep hair , it is goat hair 
It is not black skin, it is white skin 
It is not African , it is European 
Where is my beautiful dark cover ? 
Where are the golden letters?

Dulcinee

A ma dulcinee, J'ai ecris  ce poeme La plus belle femme selon mon coeur Elle s'inquiette toujours quand je pleure   Ses paroles effacent mes peines Elle prend la charge d'une reine Elle gouverne sur mes valles et plaines Ses bras sont les plus puissants de mon empire   Avec elle , mon chagrin s'en va Specialement,quand sa tete repose sur mes bras Elle m'ouvre toujours la porte Quand Les autres me ferment dehors Quand tout le monde me deteste Elle me dit combien elle m'aime Si je pourrais creer un monde   Elle gouvernerais tout dans ce monde Je demanderais aux etoiles de s'agenouier devant ellle Et Les oiseaux de chanter pour elle   Une chanson d'amour qui allumera nos lampes   La verite s'ecoulera de la riviere de mon amour   Maintenant, elle s'asseoit sur moi Elle est entrain de me racontrer une histoire BY JOHN MAYER CHARMANT (THIS POEM MUST NOT BE REPUBLISHED UNDER ANY OTHER SIGNATURE BESIDES THE AUTHOR’S SIGNATURE STATED HEREIN...

Morning Coffee

It was morning when she called me  Insomnia and nightmare exhausted me But  her words through the phone gave me energy  She  awakens everything that was asleep in me  Hence , she is my sweet morning coffee  She came prepared in her dark shiny skin  Hot  and smooth in an eternal cup  I'm ready to sip my sweet coffee  The taste travels through my neurons  It gives  the strength of millions  I can stay up all day , after I drink my morning coffee  I'm invincible and unstoppable  After she boosts my energy  I'm immovable and untouchable  After I drink my morning coffee  I'll end this poem sipping in my morning coffee by  John Mayer Charmant This poem shall not be republished under any other name besides the author's name mentioned herein.

Fire in the cold

We could bend without having to break We could fall without having to lay on the ground We could get beaten without having to die ... "I have run away in the cold season The ice was tormentimg our bones But if had three stones ,we could have made a fire Things didn't have to go in this direction But the weather got too cold That is why I left" Please don't go ,we can still make the fire I have three rocks that will work Let us make a fire in the icy cold ""Can we burn in the cold ? Smile in our pain? Pretend like nothing is happening? Can we look at the blade slashing through our skin? Can we turn the water into wine?" Silence! Why are you afraid of the wind? It had to hit our land Why are you running because of reality? We are in this together We could have stayed together Stop being a coward, it is part of life "I thought you could fix it all." But I can't fix it all "I thought you could have been...
