La trompeuse de soi-meme (translation below)

Pourquoi tu mets en scene cet artifice?

Pour quelle raison, pour quelle malice

tu trompes toi-meme,

ton meme esprit?

Quel orgueil te vient de cette honte incroyable?

Aucune raison, tu écoutes, bien que formidable.

Vis ton confortable artifice, allez!

Moque-toi de notre universal verité.

Ces verses, je sais, sont fort inutile,

tes yeux jamais ne les pourront lire.

TRANSLATION: The deceiver of herself

Why do you put into scene such an artifice (lie)?

For which reason, for which mischief

you mislead yourself,

your own soul?

What pride do you get from this unbelievable shame?

No reason, you listen, not even the greatest ones.

Live your comfortable artifice (lie), go ahead!

Play fool on our universal truth.

These verses, I know, are quite useless,

your eyes will never be able to read them.

Author's Note

Based on a recent experience, some people just want to mislead themselves. The one that inspired me this, has a great influence in my life and I cannot speak right to her but I had to get off my chest, so I put it into verses.

j'aime la poésie dans les langues romanes!!! e flux et le rythme sont merveilleux, ton rimes sont subtiles. Un plaisir à lire! Je suis heureux mes yeux les purront lire.

la vérité est-ce tout le monde c'est-ca. Nous tous faire face à nos artifice internes; nous sommes les victimes des mensonges que nous devons croire

Ceci glisse entre l'imagination et le fait, simplement parce que vous il. Nous décidons ces choses, le puits qui sait vraiment, un grand morceau, bien fait.

Merci :)

I envy poets who can write in many languages and then translate ( Samuel Beckett did it a lot, French/English) so you do very well here, it`s not easy. A fine poem.

[quinfinn]

some people lie too much (we all lie) and they have to create new lies to perpetuate the older ones until it becomes too much for their mind to separate, so.....there is a built in defense mechanism. they start to believe in their own lies.... very good angle on this phenomenon, and very aptly written. well done, poet.

artifice-lie=brilliant

last two lines bother me with your self-reference. Weird placement issues.

Overall nice post!

Thx =D Should I erase them? I did so because after reading a Moliere's piece it made me feel like I've written a character's speech in a piece instead of a poem ahahah

[外人 (Gaijin)]

PS: I confess the idea of using artifice instead of lie was Moliere's as well xD

[MandaBear]

Very nice. I hope the mislead people get lead in the right direction soon. Good write
