Inspiration

Inspiration shows up 

unannounced ...

That unfaithful one 

with a childlike smile 

who plays hard to get 

and then run away...

Beauty whose fleeting charms 

drives you wild 

and makes you  astray

with a delightful taste of abandonment...

On the ransacked workbench ,

a farewell letter telling  you 

that she\'ll  be back ...

 sometimes,she pops away her stage props ,

masquerades and  weariness...

 It\'s often during those confusing sleepless nights

when the queen of spades removes her makeup ,

revealing the lie behind appearances.

and rekindling  long-lost embers...

 So ,with a semblance of remorse ,

 you give yourself  over to every caress 

and other forms of drunkeness ...

Inscribing in the soul the echo 

of an abyssal  melancholy ...

 Poisonous scent  of this fear 

of losing you again in an unfinished tangle...

 sensual temptress who possesses me 

without passion .

  In the muggy heat of feverish insomnia

I lie down near  to the cold of this unknown corps ,

whispering all -too - familiar words 

that make you  gently laugh ....

  You chain me up without any attachment ,

just like a destructive addiction ...

  Are you nothing but that mornful  virgin ?

that fatal courtesan ?

  constantly searching  for your name 

in the book of shadows ...

  wasting my poor hours ,

making love to your absences ...

  You, my holy inspiration .
