The Waiting

Under a candle light
By a door leading elsewhere
The waiting for a change
And the auspicious moment to advance
Is always a source of worries
When the choice is made
To move towards the unknown
Yesterday's experiences
As the newly acquired
Will make us foresee the turn
Throughout our perception
The only good one
Since it belongs to our true self

Dreaming

O! cherished dreams
Lifting with the rising moon
You caressed life softly with your blazing light
You offer to the everyday life an exalting flavour
To  future a delectable and appealing fragrance
From this life, you made, a delightful passage
You give birth to more than one comforting hope
And the will to continue intensively to bite
Into those days, thanks to you, became gleaming

O! cherished dreams
Don't weary of keeping our heads and our hearts

Soft Morning

Lulled by the flow of a deferent river
Caressed by a smooth gentle wind
Embraced by the glistening sunlight
Bewitched by a melodious singing
Life takes a generous sense
By offering her marvellous fruits
To the kindly ears and blessed eyes
Of a nymph sheltered
Under the spread out branches
Of a magnificent willow

Enchanting dawn

Enchanting Dawn
Surrounded by the melodious warbling
Of the seashore birds
And the singing of a wave
Carrying the secret
Of the deepest treasures
You bathe the mysterious glance
Of a graceful Amazon
Under the gaze
Of the stallion, her best friend
She muse's over the presage
Of this beginning day

Enchanting dawn
By your charm and your light
You promise the fulfillment
Of the most lovely dreams

The secret

In the shadow of an undergrowth
Away from inquisitive eyes
While the refrains of birds reign
And in a shivering wood, the leaves rustle
Some secrets of great joy
Aroused to the harmonious verses
Generated by the life which fulminates
And the jubilation of the enchanting spirits

Secrets of the magic of love and friendship
Secrets of the forest and its high raised trees
Never disclose yourselves
Under the menace of treachery and mockery
May your mysteries stay out of sight

O! Daddy
You who unselfishly taught me the values of life
You who dreamed to bringing us up in the country
Now patiently waiting the final day
When your soul will leave this aching body
And drifting spirit of yours
Allow me to offer you this little present
So that in another life
You can touch this dream
Since this one did not concede it
I will certainly be beside you at this rendezvous    
As I will never be able to light upon a better father

My Father's Dream
Oil on canvas
20" X 16"
Private Collection
This painting was done after my father has a stroke and was confined to go in a elderly people's home.  He never realized his dream.  I
painted it for him.  He really gloried this painting. He passed away on the 30th of October 2005.  He doesn't suffer anymore and I miss him.

Once upon a time
I held you in  the hollow of my arms
All through your childhood
You give me  strength to pass over difficulties
During your adolescence
You taught me to be tolerant
Now you are an adult
You make me understand
How difficult life can be
For the little boy I raised with love

I thought I gave you all the power
To go further in your life
I realize now, maybe
I didn't quite succeed
I only hope one day
It will be better for you
And it will bring
What you expect

Dear son, do not lose your faith in life
It, sometimes, can be cruel
But it's always for a reason
Stay strong and full of hope
And when you won't think about the odds
It will arrive with a nice gift
You hadn't even imagine.
