I could have become polluter smoking, smoky
my neighbors or my quid chewing. Fearing
above all, lack of cigarettes
Or damn me up for nicorette! In
spitting my lungs, just woke up, I even forgot
use my nose.
Living without smell is the worst scourge
Because I would not know your scent on my skin.
I could have become a drinker, alcoholic, drunken
Whose words are punctuated with "hic".
A mug reddened and a snitch in whipping,
Intoxicated by the sight of a mere "girl".
Sick in the morning to the sight of a glass of water, my whole life
Walking on the deck of a boat! My throat burned as
can neither charm
Neither the joy of tasting the salt of your tears.
I could become addicted cocaine,
me drowning in the dope, mind by "heroic". The head
obsessed with strange adventures
And arms studded with pitting.
Tremblant with my whole being when the lack arrives, I let my body
adrift. Do
controlling anything, or my hands or my eyes, I could
then stroking your hair.
I could immerse myself fully into the music, all ears
filled with heavy rhythms. Obsessed
the Walkman, the headphones glued
My esgourdes traps only syncopated tunes. The saturated volume
causing gangrene,
I'd already deaf or suffering Tinnitus! My bones
hit by these shots of drums
I could not hear your tender words of love.
I could just dump a bulimic
want to play the globe-trotting, an epic approach.
Weaving through deserts, cities and regions
In trying to understand everything, experience everything, observe everything. But
believe the world is more beautiful also
We often miss the happiness.
My eyes in this mess, never could see,
curves of your body when you sleep at night.
I could have so many things I will not,
Full enjoyment of life with you near you.
I chose your love, the finest travel alone because
allowed me to write a few pages of a novel or
the dream gives way to life,
Where reality itself delights me.
And if I have cravings, calls, emotions,
My only addiction, can only be you.
