May Fragments Of Thoughts
“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. […] You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” — Eleanor Roosevelt In the month of May, on this side of the world, summer begins to gently walk away to let the […]

Withdrawal
Withdrawal A withdrawal from the world, Within me I fully seek Of that hidden shining thing That moves within bodies, It operates so strangely I fear it’s quick eye movements For it kills and you won’t feel. A withdrawal from your shoreline My white foams forms an ocean I am myself more than ever before, […]

Clay
Clay I used to abhor so many things Before my coming out of the dark Where I was asleep and hypnotised Secluded in a tight dark cell, recoiled Now that I think that winter and summer All seasons, things, happenings, are spells I mingle myself in dreams made by others I’m a wisp of smoke […]

MSG
The sea covers my naked body. I’m a Lilliputian that watches with boggled eyes a giant glossy ship sailing in the fading light at horizon. The seashells in my mouth suddenly become grains of sands that instantly fill my throat to choke me. I suffocate in pain and tears while trying to grasp for air […]

Miles To Go
While wondering about what to write for today, the last verse of the poem ‘Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening’, written by Robert Frost, suddenly appeared like a wandering cloud in the clear blue sky of my mind, and right away I knew that I had to dissect and reflect about these lovely words […]

On Windy Days
On Windy Days On windy days The breeze carries The secrets of trees Their fastfull dreams And past memories of Woolly Mammoths Sabre-toothed tigers Gigantic butterflies Peculiar insects And strange-looking things. On windy days When trees sway I hear the trees murmur Of things that can’t be said In normal language understood But in the […]

Do Your Best
When you start doing something from scratch, something that you never did before, everything will be difficult at the beginning, mainly if you don’t have the right textbook that can guide you through steps and processes. You have to cling yourself tightly to this thing that you want to achieve with love, determination, patience, and […]

A Prayer To Nature
“All things by immortal power Near or far, Hiddenly To each other linkèd are, That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling of a star.” — From ‘The mistress of vision’ by Francis Thompson. A Prayer To Nature Sleep and dream mama Sleep and dream beautiful dreams, Dream of unity for your children Dream […]

Making Sense Of Things While Writing
The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper — W. B. Yeats To discover some things along the way while writing isn’t that strange, it is a form of self-taught education and self-discovery within the spectrum of autodidacticism, the obligation of the mind to arrange the words that’ll […]

Viridescence🟢
Viridescence The emerald sea Rushing ashore Seaweeds Dancing above Green things Growing as skin Verdoyance Ruling this life. This viridescence Flows serenely Aquamarinous vibes So relaxing The greenish field So luxuriant My veins Of the colour of leaves. That naturescape Dominantly green Chlorophyll Such pepping pigment This greenliness Swirls into everness Your verdant heart Beats […]

Avowals
My day goes smooth and slow only when I do things that I like with complete freedom; when I’m alone with my thoughts, relaxed and musing in a little bubble of my own, seconds go by at the walking pace of a turtle, as everything around slows down for me to remain in this daydreaming […]

Nobleness
Every day I need to sweep All the detritus of yesterday So that I might clearly see So that I might easily reach For the truth that hides in plain sight; A truth that’s so beautiful That I fall in love over and over again, A truth that glows so intensely That it burns my […]

Mountains⛰
The Corps De Garde is the mountain I see every day when I look out from my window. I love to contemplate this strange shape whose peak points up to the sky, and whose foot is covered with a verdant mantle that covers half of its rough skin, which was, and still is, forged by […]

Winged Words
Winged Words To write is to abridge time To write is to abridge feelings The world in its own way rhymes And to read is to attain healing These little notes fly away Sinking into hearts and minds Digested, they long and stay Until eyes settle on next find Little little winged words That flutter […]

My Strange Relationship With Books
“I like to say that books found me, that my otherworldly teacher came to me clothed with words that I could decrypt and understand.” I did not start to write stories, poems, or any other type of non-fiction at a very young age, but I read a lot since I knew how to read. I […]

Water💧
Today is World Water Day Water You give life Without you Everything withers Without you Everything dies Without you We all smell bad. Water So precious Morning dews on my windows Tiny droplets on all plants Rain, hailstones, snow. Water That liquid on the tip of my tongue This primeval Crystalline Body in which We […]

Darcocyte, My Sweet Ache
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing. Henry Ford I’ve stopped counting the years… for it seems that Darcocyte forms an integral part of me now. It’s my shame, my ache, my sin, my failure, my drama, my unborn, my illusiatory, this pang in my heart, my first, my pride, […]

I am the island of Mauritius🇲🇺
Happy Independence Day Mauritius 10 Million Years Ago Born from the sea floor of the Indian Ocean during a volcanic eruption, I became an isolated small island, remote from large land masses, but with unique curves and beautiful features. Life began to flourish on my skin when seeds and different flying and swimming species drifted […]

Two quick cake recipes
Today I baked two cakes (banana bread and sweet condensed milk cake), because one of my sons didn’t went to school to celebrate the day before Independence Day, where cakes and juice are distributed to all children. I don’t make fancy cakes at home — they’re simple, ugly😅, mostly without eggs (for my mother-in-law is […]
