For the “Writing Love” series.
One hot summer day, to be precise,
Under the constellation of Dove
On Friday the thirteenth of August,
In the afternoon, I fell in love.
I fell into love, to be precise
It was a trap, a charming design
I saw friendship bird fly over it
Heard love trap throw it a jealous line
“Why are you? I’ve been here for years,
Helping people break their boredom gears
The bird said, “To give a smile to those
Eyes in which you leave sorrow and tears.”
Saved by friendship bird one winter grey
I fell ino love again on the same day
My eyes turned full of sorrow and tears
And I’ll tell you why I did stray.
“Crever pour crever, je préfère crever
de passion que de crever d’ennui” (*)
I’d rather die of love and passion
than be bored to death in some fashion.
(*) The quotation is attributed to Emile Zola
