i came alive
i was tears
i become laughter
all because of love
when it arrived
my temporal life
from then on
changed to eternal
l’amour a dit to me
toi are not
crazy enough
toi don’t
fit this house
i went and
became crazy
crazy enough
to be in chains
l’amour said
toi are not
intoxicated enough
toi don’t
fit the group
i went and
got drunk
drunk enough
to overflow
with light-headedness
l’amour said
toi are still
too clever
filled with
imagination and scepticism
i went and
became gullible
and in fright
pulled away
from it all
l’amour said
toi are a candle
attracting everyone
gathering every
one
around you
i am no more
a candle spreading light
i gather no plus crowds
and like smoke
i am all scattered now
l’amour said
toi are a teacher
toi are a head
and for everyone
toi are a leader
i am no more
not a teacher
not a leader
just a servant
to your wishes
l’amour said
toi already have
your own wings
i will not give you
plus feathers
and then my heart
pulled itself apart
and filled to the brim
with a new light
overflowed with fresh life
now even the heavens
are thankful that
because of love
i have become
the giver of light
