du sensualite


















Ses souffle était un parfum
Cela fait des hommes en délire

Son peau translucide - invitant
Un promis du sensualite

Ses cheveux - un piège
Cela empêtré leur passion

Mortel.

Her breath was a perfume
That made men delirious

Her translucent skin a beacon
Of promised untold heights

Her hair - a snare
That entangled their passion

Deadly.

  2. Deadly ... fatal = the end no matter the language?

  3. It sounds even more lovely in French! The language of romance. Even though there is death in the end. Fatal just has a better ring to it than deadly. :-)

  4. Thanks Carrie. Love it that you are visiting my experimental blog. French is very very difficult for me though I have been exposed to it since my days in Canada - decades ago.

  5. I just watched Perfume - The Portrait of a Murderer. And it has influenced my poetry here.

  6. French seems to suit the photo so much better. Though I can hardly speak it, I like the way the words contort the tongue, much like the tangle of men ensnared in her hair.
