A beaumont on a blond pony

 A Beaumont on a blond pony
I spelled your name
my sister of tumultuous waters
greened up under the luminous line
vertigo climbs .

Transient variant
on the piano of the halos
your dream and your snow mixed up
with the disguised edges of our ancestors
made me proud on the bitter waves .

Maternal leaves
deceitful era
you exhausted
in slow caresses
on a pile of stamped carcasses .

Cry my flower
breathe silence
on the crepe of our wounds
the future as a reflection
my love
My strength
my humility .

words under the gaze of closed stalls

 Words under the gaze of closed stalls   
like swallows on a starting line
silence of the man who stands at the limits of the territory
uttering illusory mirages
bravado messages
collusion with the desert .

The words
these transmitting envelopes
these war organs
about to become shadows of light
are the hollow of a valley for the child curled up in pain .

Words speak the meaning
in awakened hearts
that time scatter
for
sunny days
destroy outer idols .

Words of peace
are the seed of the tree of our expectations
whose branches rise to the sky of the soul
those arms that my nights call
in my disposition to receive you
intimate deep inside me .

O you my friend my secret
what signs have I gathered
for you
made of soft wax, of putrescible matter, of enamored rage
to bleed the clouds of doubt
O my friend
they were wise words
a great mystery that has become a well of science
the calm contemplation of finitude .

sincerity, a flight towards oneself

   It's a secret   
to the steps of illusion
in the crystal shadow of a spring
oblique wandering
that no angel or devil could alter
immemorial memory
outside the walls
collegialities of fear .

Sincerity ,
a flight towards oneself ,
a flight to the real ,
the truth of grace
not seeking embellishment
in a counter-current energy .

The source in the heart of darkness is truth .
Let's unload the images of oneself with full dumpsters ,
let's wake up the strange spectacle
of man initiated by his shadow .

To the waters of the spirit no habituation ,
nothing but the vestiges of ancient wisdom
at the dawn of beginnings .

In the farandole of illusions remains the core of the origins .
Turn without haste
the grindstone of the mind
collide with oneself
and go on a trip ,
out of the veil
towards the doors
where man would no longer live by his image .

Loving creatures outside of oneself .

Articulate the truth with the heart .

Your soul will no longer be divided ,
works and words forming the unique .

Outside the shadow theater
life is not a show ,
she is adventure
to the one who comes out of the cyclops cave .

The secret of sincerity breathes
life in works and forms .

The way closest to you

work by Sylvain GERARD
   Too often , do we hear , that :
" Follow the Way, the dream of being human, from
to be able to straighten the sinuosity of the heart is
essential intention . And for that is not necessary
not leave, to extricate oneself from the chains of the world " .

This is falsehood !

There is not life ,
to leave is to avoid the search for the Truth .
Chains only exist in oneself .

Rather than being drawn to mirages
exterior,
protect yourself from your own tricks .

Stop taking refuge behind a fake
humility .

Throw yourself into the ocean of providence .

Prefer what you don't know , ignore what you
know.

Don't fear the unknown .

The Truth is not veiled .

It's your eyes that wear the veil .

Your eyes ,
sails that you must open .

The wise man , his , breaks with his habits .

The miracles of the world are terrifying
purity ,
the only way is inner rectitude .

The light at the end of the corridor ,
the ultimate of the way ,
a beyond closer to oneself.

Where to go ?

 Where to go ?   
 Face to face .   

 Listening to others .  
 
 Walk on a common path . 
  
 Jeter , as if by chance   
 a look to the sides ,   
 just enough not to harm   
 and make the company dance ,   
 as in past vigils   
 sort the pebbles in the dish of lentils .  

 Time eternally starting again,   
 under the pen ,  
 to the granting of a pouring rain ,   
 deploy its panoply   
 open door ,   
 on sung hugs   
 remembering drops of water.      
  
 There were not ,   
 clean , writing   
 under the bushel ,   
 than the smile that lends itself to saying . 
  
 There is a narrow passage between the safe interior
 methodically built to credenzas of knowledge
 and the circle of the children of joy .

 There are countries
 intertwining of achievements
 where the revelation filters .

 It happens that
 the apple falling from the tree is a marvel .

 Let's collect the fruit ,
 wipe it with the cloth
 unbleached canvas ,
 carry at eye level ,
 skin texture ,
 the graceful envelope
 the infinite expansion of the germ
 of its extension ,
 to its fullness
 until its extinction .

 In the palace of viscosities of the spirit,
 pome apple
 bitten
 allows the pleasure of taste
 by burial
 retrospective juices .

 The church bell rings .

 It is four o'clock ,
 teatime
 that the psychedelic cuckoo shells .

 Let it be known that with good intentions , Health ,
 with a pinch of judgment
 appropriate to the principle of normality .

if the cart bends

 If the cart bends
and that pieces on the ground
disperse
the derisory brassieres of the mind .  

There would be that look
going through absence
catechumens in his extinct childhood
my mother the order of the dead mother.  

There would be pregnant
caresses under the canvas
that I never believed
soft on me .  

There would be dry grass
covered with crystal frost
under the severe burle
of a danced crossing of legs .  

Looks like affliction
tender and tender years of perdition
to co-opt carefree passers-by
without cries or rest .  

My heart is extinguished
he saddened the course of time
fragile bubbles
under the scratch of memory .  

The furrows turned cream
at the café des solitudes
the rotating hemming spoon
the reflection of the clouds .  

Putting things in place
with chairs and tables
glasses and cutlery
and napkin rings to match .  

Living in illusion
between pear and lemon
prayers
and days to come
ending in pumpkin slices .  

On the go
placed on bare ground
ran the saxifrage vermin
speechless speakers .  

Chin confronted
the accordions of reason
to avoid yours mine
positioned on the sidelines .  

Sagging figure
the glasses at the end of the nose
correct spelling mistakes
our little passing hands .  

Short-scale segmented
vertical horses
last lift of a smile
through the open window .
 
Spell straight out
with a tender apostrophe
glittery lips froze
the sound of churches .
 
Falsely monopolized
in a dumpster of manure
the body-to-body of thinking bodies
desperate embraces .  

Slipped under the antlers
autumn mushrooms
to dig the trenches of a war
from which no one returns .  

The thread of the sweater lengthens
the needles pass then iron
the fragile fingers
exposes itself without me intervening .
 
face down
let's be the rolling pebbles of the torrent
under the foliage of a becalmed willow
by what will be said of prosopopeia .  

My feather
without the callus of yesteryear
is heard to the east
dry blows on the skin of solicitudes
the small of the back in enjoyment
his hour and then mine
all things combined
rebelling my beautiful
in the offering of free-rider
to no longer hear the barbed wire
screeching under grapeshot .

His bird cage under his elbow

 His birdcage under his elbow
 and the rump in Lent 
 a horse passes 
 the horsewoman with the ponytail .

 The donkey brays
 the sheep are bleating
 a sound of sheet metal 
 padlock the space
 I call
 at the crossroads
 scents of wet grass
 the moonrise .

 without taking the time
 skinny appendages
 join
 to the lifts of balled wool
 a quarter lower
 wings in working order .

 Inquire
 finely chopped
 dusk
 in the weary fall of the day
 bitter fever
 than a finger of honey
 raises
 tender application
 of the flute
 with happy notes
 children's laughter .

Don't be the “bravo”

 Don't be the "bravo"
who braves the silence
be the dry root
the thirsty moss
the stunted mushroom
be the welcome
for free soup
lentils and bacon
be an outstretched hand .

be the man
the little
ready to live
women's dance
our initiators in love
future amulets
tender sowing
on the sides of the green hills
a hot wind
fricassee of stars
under a shared moon
we strays
the heart eaters
lively in captivating remonstrance
bad in hope
the falconers of beauty .

God, An evidence

 Do not avoid
 the fangs of reason
 planted on the saddle of known things
 wound fractal
 according to the things said .

 The Divergence
 flexible scoundrel
 from among the reeds of avoidance
 gather the empty hulls of the feast .

 A grain of rice
 can feed
 the gendarmes of disenchantment .

 Du bol
 the enslaved multitude
 will be thrown away
 on the crowned ones of the assumed marriage .

 Evider ,
 make the hollow under the eyes
 of the recognized demiurge ,
 excavate with a crowbar ,
 at the Barabas ,
 the alcoves of oblivion ,
 to assemble, then dance
 An evidence
 between matter and spirit
 along the clear gulfs
 the truth appeared .

 And how many things happened in this ignorance 
 God
 ten eyes of wonder .

 The Framework of Embeddings of Logic . 

 The vanishing point
 where everything comes from and everything converges .

 The roof of the hovels of man
 building itself .

 The hands of encounter
 in the early morning mischievous
 from " Hello how are you  ?" .

 The wound to lick
 convergence of the algae with the tongue
  sea ​​and land combined .

 black licorice
 root fire
 obligations of a discipline .

 The harsh screeching
 calame on dry clay .

 The hollow of dreams
 in tender lead
 under the shaman's amulet .

 The Rainbow
 childhood coloring pages
 in search of recognition .

 The lifting of the gaze
 to intense skies
 to the skull of the ultimate .

 Absence d'explication ... Presence body ...
 God , this evidence .

Shouts

 Shouts
 the call of honey words
 the ultimate as a rock
 on which to ring .

 The dry snap of the storm
 unpin his water basins
 at the caravanserai of encounters .

 Women 
 in high passageway 
 the music look 
 feet in the hard granite .

 They were singing
 guttural clamor
 rise of desires
 drawing protective wolf energy
 under the heap of dead leaves .

 Trance in the undergrowth
 the trumpets picked up the defeats of the night
 curled up beaten dogs
 in the face of things said in a hurry .

 He invented the round dance 
 The infinite spurred light
 at the front of the cart
 wobbly legs
 at the gates of the temple .

 My soul
 raised with a slight wave of the hand
 plumb with an evening joy
 towards the flight of oblivion .

 The smiles line up
 the nods
 under the stage hangers
 without applause
 to just silence in itself
 vermilion seashell
 held by breath .

 We set off
 before the unknowable
 looking for the key to the city
 from level to level
 like to be there
 the heart celebrates
 in improbable crevices .

 The green man came out of the woods
 the hair lichen
 the dragon breath
 the flexible look
 the camera at arm's length .

 It was enough ...
 and yet
 the clothes no longer covered us
 the pout on the lips
 eyes pitted with fiery splinters
 the outline of our suggestions
 at breaking point
 the horses belched
 There was so much to do
 the sand flowed from the spread of the fingers
 a small heap formed
 we put our hope in it
 our joy
 our very pain
 at the arrival of a child making a castle by the sea
 in ebb of truths .

 The ultimate in a snap
 broke the moorings with the illusion .

 Everything collapsed
 there was to live .
