Mes pensées ou ma première vie
Sont des images de feux de camp
Des étés qui s’étampent à l’infini
Dans nos têtes d’adolescents.
Problèmes existentiels dérisoires
L’amour ça s’appelait «bébé»
Possédée du démon, faut voir
Très vite ,l’entonnoir s’est fermé
Je t’ai donné mon âme
Dieu sait où tu l’as mise
Le zombi qui se blâme
Pleure,mauvaise expertise
Karma sadique redondant
Grande solitude ,pour sûr
Mais la justice tout bonnement
Suit son cours et devient mûre
J’étais vieille,malgré ma jeunesse
Temps si court,parfum floral
Rires empreints de caresse
Tu m’as cassée, comme un jouet banal
Pourquoi cet héritage glacé
Mon ange, mon animal
Coeur durçi ,noir,tu m’as laissée
Ah! oui ,j’ai encore mal…...
Gisèle alias Micmac july 2002
I’ll do my best to translate it the best way I can ,sorry for the bad english.
My thoughts or my first life
are pictures of fire-camps
summers that last forever
in our teenaged heads
Ridiculous existential problems
Love was called «baby»
Possessed by the devil, I guess
All of a sudden,the funnel closed.
I gave you my soul ,
God knows where you hide it
The zombi ’s blaming himself
crying ,bad expertise.
Sadic and redundant karma
immeasurable lonelyness,for sure
but quietely the justice
follow the road and mature.
I was so old in spite of my youth
limited time,floral aroma
laughs filled with caresses
You broked me like a stupid toy.
Why this frosed legacy
My angel,my animal
cold heart,dark , you let me
Oh ! Yes it still hurts…........
Gigi …aka….Micmac

Qu’un morceau imposant. Admirablement écrit. Je ne parle pas de français, donc m’excuser si la traduction est terrible.

Its hard when your trust, your love and your happiness are taken so quickly away by the one person whose feelings you thought were the same as your own. I hope this is far behind you. well written :-)

For translation, try clicking the right button on your mouse, then click on ‘page info’ this should give you an option to ‘translate into english’.
(Well, it worked for me, anyway) :-)
micmac, 11 months ago
Thanks Nicola and yes it’s far behind but i was broken for life.All of a sudden after a great chilwood i knew what it’s like to be with a alcoolic,violent and manipulating man,tooks three years to get out.Yes it still hurts for me and my daugther. ....Thanks for the tips on translation.

Wow, I totally feel this, that’s how it was when I divorced my first husband. I almost posted excerpts of my journal but I want to be careful because it was a very turbulant time and my writing is VERY raw!... thank you for sharing!

Your poetry is beautiful your words hit hard and emotion runs deep. You express your feelings well and it instills a heaviness of heart upon your reader. A most effective write – well done! Keep writing!
micmac, 7 months ago
Thank you so much Anais ,i just read a couple of your writing ,it,s beautiful.

micmac this is touching and even moreso due to the two languages – because trapped in between is the real rawness…not lost in translation but even more accentuated…
i love it – thanks for sharing with us.

That’s the beauty of Red Bubble, Gigi… you can share all your raw emotions… anger, hurt, terror, and sorrow… and reach a sympathetic community… I’m quite amazed at the deep confessional tone of so many on this site… I speak a smattering of French and can appreciate your translation… and think you did a wonderful job in expressing your emotions… Just as an added note… some of us of the male gender are quite gentle souls who appreciate the beauty and softness of a woman…

You are so brave to write and share this …. and it’s so beautiful … in both languages.

This is a most powerful poem. It bleeds, It heals, It faces pain and oh so mush more
Still a bitter sunrise rises.

Il faut des souffrances pour devenir plus dur
Il faut des tempêtes pour apprendre à ne pas sombrer
Mais Il faut surtout ne jamais oublier de rester doux
Car l’amour est un fruit que donne notre coeur
Et qu’il ne peut garder pour lui
...
J’espère que comme le disait le poête :
” Sur les ailes du temps s’est envolée ta tristesse…”
...
Le chemin de la reconstruction n’est jamais facile… Je ne sais pas ce qui est advenu en près de 30 ans, mais j’ose espérer que la vie t’a apporté de nouvelles raisons d’aimer !!!
En tous cas, je repasserai voir ton travail régulièrement… Et pas que pour le côté “regrets” de Gisèle ! lol ! :-)
Bonne continuation et merci pour ces belles choses que tu partages…. Et le fait de le faire en français aussi…lol !

when i first looked at this piece of writing (without translation) i saw the word karma (the only english word amongst the french) and i knew i’d like it :)
peace and happiness to you xx

Lovely work. I live in Austria and speak German, but I would never be able to write such a poetic piece in that language with so much meaning and depth, and so few misktakes. Great :-)
