Voir dans le vide

Ô Solitude, toi qui scintilles
En moi, ombre lumineuse.
Muse des grands, éclair de génies,
Gouffre de trésors et de folies.

Allez, réveille tes lurons !
Qu’ils coulent leurs gris sanglots,
Lingots d’or en devenir...
Les éclats luisent pour nous durcir.

Pénètre-moi de profondeur,
Les tréfonds révèlent tes belles lueurs,
Un noir si clair qu’il efface ces heures
Si longues, sablier trompeur...

Assassine de Maupassant,
Névrose de Nelligan,
Dans un plaisir déchirant,
Tu tourmentes même tes amants !

Noie-moi dans l'anonymat,
Que mon mât sorte ses voiles !
À la dérive, des milliards de bouées
Flotteront dans une mer de médiocrité.

Ô Grande Solitude, tristesse des ermites,
De Nietzsche, ton ange gardien,
Qui t’encense à jamais

Devant le soleil levant...
Ton mirage brille éternellement
Pour nous, les errants du néant.

Eau bénite, fontaine trompeuse !

Un lit volant

En silence, deux corps enlacés
Fondent. Une statue.
Félicité sans fin, immaculée.
Immortelles, les âmes de l’amour.

Là où nous sommes
Libres et souples, nous sillonnons
Mers et marrées inconnues,
L’ivresse des plus grands crus.

Toi et moi ensemble,
Naviguant le nirvana,
Embryons d’un éternel retour,
Embrassant l’extase sans détour.

Si vaste dans nos rêves,
La folie... L’euphorie
Des fantasmes sans frontières.
Dépassement sensoriel.

Là où nous sommes,
Hauts sommets des Andes.
Deux pumas, perchés au summum
Du plaisir, jouissance indicible...

Félins de l’affection,
Le printemps sur les montagnes,
Lumière pour les abîmes.
Nous, les messagers de l’amour.

Toi et moi ensemble,
Corps collés, coeurs soudés
En fusion pure, ineffable.
Un fossile pour l’infini.

Alternate Ending

Lonely wastelands
Slowly they’ve swelled
Into this, into today
Don’t stray away to nowhere’s trust
Stay here, Stay with us

All women have vanished
Candles, shimmering smoke
Sweet pearls sparkle no more
Lustless & cold, a new world is born

Empty playgrounds
No chants of children
Laughter fainted & forgotten
Wilted & faded forever

All the men are insane
Roaming trench coats in the rain
Peering above others’ shoulders
Fears rising in the dark

Only the strong survive now
Growing into giants
Armed to the teeth
Leading masses into false beliefs

Nothing has invaded everything
I'm sorry you disappeared
There was nothing I could do
There was nothing I could do

Years and years listening to nonsense, looking down on people & judging everyone based on fleeting moments. Why do so ? At the end of the day, don't we all just live in our own mind ? I will write this, you will read it & forget about it. You will return to your own life, thinking about your own ideas & feelings.

We all live in our own mind. Everyone of us. But we share universal traits, one in particular : it will always be easier to DESTROY than to BUILD. Dependence, quest for recognition, endless dwelling on what was and what could have been. Why do we need these poisons, when they just drag us down?

Maybe you should place this energy elsewhere or do NOTHING at all. ‘Cause there’s nothing wrong with that.

Boredom

Wake up, take a walk, come back, do nothing, drink coffee, check email, sunny day (no balcony), jerk off, feel useless, check email, no one to call (they're at work staring at screens), wonder if she still thinks about me (no, she's moved on), crows cracking & crying in the backyard (I throw rocks at them... but they always come back), same lame fucking room, waiting for something to happen.

I wish it rained outside. I wish I was someone else.

The Nightmare that Never Happened

"Oh hi Sharif, how's everything?"

"Fine, you?"

"Good. Thanks. Wow, you look great. So where are you working now?"

"At the United International Bank."

"Oh really, what do you do there?"

"I'm the allocation resource manager of the marketing department. I supervise all corporate undertakings that involve branding and business development."

"Wow, that sounds very important."

"It is. I make over 75,000 $/year, I own a S500 6 cylinder GT and I just paid off a 300 000$ mortgage. My wife Linda and I have two kids and everything is grrreat."

"That's great to hear. Well, it was great to see you again, Sharif. I'm glad to see you're well-off and successful. For a while there, I was getting worried about you."

"I know, for a long time I was just living day to day. I had no career ambition. All I cared about was friends, women, movies, music, sports, biking, mental stimulation & imagination. I wasn't doing anything productive. Then I woke up one day and decided to become a new man. My life really took off after my Master's in Business Administration. Today, I am very content. You know, we all straighten out and settle down at some point, right? (CUE: the corporate laugh). OK Jack, say hi to your wife and kids for me, and I'll see you Saturday morning on the golf course. Bye Bye now."
