Apart (Les Séparés)
by Louis Simpson and Marceline Desbordes-Valmore
Do not write those gentle words that I dare not see,
It seems that your voice is spreading them on my heart,
Across your smile, on fire, they appear to me,
It seems that a kiss is printing them on my heart.
Do not write!
Thanks to my favorite model, Odessa Sawyer.
JE T’AIME – LARA FABIAN LIVE ~ NUE -2002
Je taime, je taime
Comme un fou comme un soldat
Comme une star de cinéma
Je taime, je taime
Comme un loup comme un roi
Comme un homme que je ne suis pas
Tu vois, je taime comme ça

artisandelimage
I was wondering… how does a girl (and talented artist) from california happen to know anything about lara fabian ? and in french !!!
parlez-vous francais, mademoiselle ? lol
my best, francis.
Jerri Johnson replied
LOL….I can fake my way through the basic requests in French, but if I had to sink or speak, I’m afraid I would sink. I’ve been to France numerous times…you’d think I’d take the time to master enough French to carry on a juicy conversation. XO (Oh, and Lara??? Google hooked me up.)
Rosemary Scott

It’s been a while since I have been on. Way too long, if this is representative of what I have been missing. So perfectly formed, and so utterly captivating. If I may be so bold, here is another fitting musical accompaniment
