I was that passerby
in the lights of the night.
Stopping at lost words square ,
not knowing what to tell you...
Scared of these magics formulas.
Say nothing to the love ,
lest you frighten it away .
Hum it like a wind and rain melody.
Evokes it in symphonic memory
and keep it in quiet melancholy .
this is my recipe,
between lips and there...
Love is always that end of summer
bathed in the glow of twilight .
When everything is over ,
the play continues in the search for oblivion...
To call love by its name is to make it lie .
It should be approached indirectly .
starting by the last page of the book...
Act as if it were one of those old aquaintance
you always meet on a miss time day
somewhere in the mist of a past winter ...
Love is expressed in three slow notes
on a solo piano perched in the clouds
and waiting for nightfall who may not come,
slipping away on a law bassoon
orchestrated with a few silences
soothing the flow of phrases ...
Wasn't it only a deceptive lullaby ?
Then suddenly something
seems belonging to the nostalgia
of yesterday's sandcastles...
Already love has vanished .
When we let our heart beat ,
believing in enchanting spells...

I love this one Lorenz the phrase "To call love by its name is to make it lie ." means to me don't call it love until you are married to it for too many call passion love and calling one woman another's name bargains for trouble. A great write and a fave
