Your ways

Translation “Mon bébé, J'aime tes façons” "My baby, I love your ways"

 

 

 

Your ways

( tes façons )

 

 

“Shadows grow so long before my eyes”

 

In silhouettes of dreams past and present

Deep within my desperate heart,

as I yearn for your love, reaching for my pen,

digging through postage stamps and paperclips

 

“And they’re moving, across the page”

 

Producing odd shapes on striped paper,

outlines of shaded emotions and verses

Calling out your name in bold ink

and rhyming stanzas of affection

 

“Suddenly the day turns into night”

 

Twilight steps over the horizon

as tree top edges touch newly glowing stars

Peering through curtains of cosmic lace

and flickering candlelight with soft breezes

 

“Far away, from the city”

 

Miles counted by minutes can be

a daunting task if I hesitate, yet footsteps in the dark

follow paths illumined by your eyes,

as my need grows for your love…I just can’t wait

 

“Mon bébé, J'aime tes façons”

Producing odd shapes on striped paper,

perhaps I'm biased. I like your words so much better than Framptons. Just sayin.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Tammy. Now that is a compliment. :)

[Diana]

I'm sorry to say I have no idea who Peter Frampton is. Notwithstanding, a poignant and poetic piece, complemented by other art forms.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Diana. I understand, Frampton was from a time long ago.

A unique and ingenious form that blends one great love song with another...the juxtaposition of "Pop" lyrics and pure poetry makes for a neat dynamic...love this one.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Steve. I appreciate your kind words today.
