Life

It takes some ink and paper

and just 

a little imagination

to imagine 

an ideal world

where one 

would not have 

to imagine anything

but reality

Claude Lopez-Ginisty

Singing

They sing their souls away

in strange unknown lands

and they return home

heavy-laden with memories

of unforgettable encounters

Love entails more sighs

than your heart can afford

and hopes are light but sour

in the realm of reality

It took me years

to despise Time

and its unfathomable pits

and but one second

to realize that Eternity

is the soul 

of every moment

Claude Lopez-Ginisty

Misunderstanding

Words are speeches

they become songs and  lullabies

or prayers 

that utter their subtle mysteries

depending on the heart and the soul

Let their strange melodies

carry you to extremes

from meaning to imagination

from music to rythm

and from there to Truth

Claude Lopez-Ginisty

You came far too early

You came far too early

My songs were about to be sung

And their melody was slowly 

coming out

In a mist of silence

Beating like a young heart

A rythm of joy and hope

Claude Lopez-Ginisty
