Tu es et juis suis

Tu es la vague de la mer, moi, je suis ton galet Toi, l'aiguille, et moi, ton fil Tu es ma flèche, je suis ton arc Tu es l'acteur; je suis ta voix Tu es ma mémoire et moi, la nostalgie Toi, mon encre, je suis ta plume Tu es le rateau, je suis ta feuille Tu es le masque et je suis le modèle Tu es la neige et moi, tes traces de pas Tu es le brouillard de mon aube Tu es la solitude de mon vide Tu es mon talon d'Achille et je suis ta faiblesse Tu es le cri et moi, le silence Tu es la rage et je suis le pardon Toi, ma larme et je suis ton rire Tu es la fedélité et moi, la trahison Tu es l'attente, je suis le voyageur Toi, le labyrinthe et moi, Icare Tu es ma tragédie et je suis ta farce Tu es la tyrannie et moi, la révolution Toi, Phedre et moi, Hippolite Tu es mon théâtre et je suis ta vie. - by iryn - See: Poetry :: note :: ... poem recieved ... & spoken translation into my ear ...
