Magique

to feel

 

 

c'est magique!

 

pas de fumée

pas de miroirs

seulement ce que je ressens

quand je te vois ...

Author's Note

it is magic
no smoke
no mirrors
only how I feel
when I see you

ahh the beauty of the french language, how I love it. This is a great one Robin, very fluent and such a wonderful comparison for "those feelings" like magic. I like the french version best- which makes sense being that it's the poems original language lol
I guess there's only one more thing to say; Comme le titre, vos mots ont une magie de leur propre!

[Geralyn Miller]

Beautiful in English or French.

[Wildfleour]

The simplicity, and complexity, of love is universally spoken. Beautiful, Robin.

[Alessander]

Very nice, both in French and English, though it rhymes a bit more in French "miroirs"/"vois" as opposed to "mirrors"/"you". And maybe my French is rusty, but shouldn't that second to last line translate to

Only know how I feel (?)

Love the metaphor of l'amour and magic and the discarding of tricks, though not necessarily its spellbinding power.

Très magnifique!

I love that you wrote it in French and saved the English for the note! Very, very good! And the topic...is striking, so often we question what our lovers see in us...the beauty, the mystery...it's there in all of us...if only we can see it.
