I wish...
...................
I wish I lived in my womb
curled up, within,
where I'd feel at peace.
Sails of sunlight would ripple through
the immensity of warmth.
An ocean of dreams it would be,
a world of clarity.
Lumen
Golden waters
Sleepy aquatic self
And there nobody would sting me.
(a poem by Christine Joucla-Pors
Music: Armelle LC)

Ups and Downs
.............................
I've got to be down to look up at the sky
I have to be let free to look up
to appreciate my ground
I must know the light to enjoy rest by night
I have to be very low to reach out for heights
Am to be desperate for you to hear you?
Am I to be dazzled by grief to see you
Am I to be knocked out by pain to feel you
Can't your caresses just touch me quietly
Can't you appear simply
Can't I let go softly
Can't we just get tired of escaping our lives
Can't you just get sick of avoiding your bride
Can't we just gather
With no sound no mutter
With no cheat and all treat
With no noes just pleases
Can't we just surrender
Right here,
now,
forever
?

CLAIRE OBSCURE
............
De jour je vis nocturne
De nuit je suis solaire
Soleil bleu, demi-lune
Parfois se croisent en rêve
Dans mon sommeil vert
Claire Obscure à l'extrême
Seule et fière dans l'arène
Du cirque des fous
Je transite, âme en peine
Et m'exhibe, à l'envers
Pieds nus sur les cailloux
Vie de Reine
de ta vie
Quand la nuit luit
Et que le jour terne blanchit
(Paroles et musique / Words and music: Armelle LC)

A new Penelope
..................
Hey you
There's a man in me
How can it be
How can't he be you
He's fucking me through
How did I do
To let him in?
And where have you been
To let this come true
Where the hell are you
Can any man do
What I yearn for you to
What's the point of the trick
What's the fun of this dick
That is hopelessly weird
to my simplicity
Stop this I beg you
Come to my rescue
See
I'm losing my hair
Am forgetting our prayers
And you battle for fumes?
Are your fights worth my doom?
Are your ideals so high
They throb more than my life
They weigh more than my heart
They sob more than your wife?
If it's so, I'm with you
from my distance of you
from my runnaway soul
Let it be gentler though
I'm too scared to go fro
I'm too weak to say no
(Words and music: Armelle LC)

Poétique
...........
Poétique des corps
Pique-moi encore
Nique
nique
folle et calme
Bourre
bourre
Errata d'âmes
Poétique des corps
Attise-moi encore
Lèche pourlèche
de ton manège
Mes courbes
d'amour en flèches
Jette projette
partout sur moi
Coeurs en fête
Tracées de soie
D'un feu de joie
Allume ma mèche
Poétique des corps
Berce-moi encore
Maquée
Plaquée
Collée
Pâmée
Bourrée
d'amour
Et de flamme
et
d'espérance
Toute enchantée
Joue-moi ta transe
Mets-moi en danse
Bel étranger
(Chorus)
Love Love
El hawa El hawa
Poétique des corps
Vibre-moi encore
Annexée
Calquée
A ta cadence
J'ondoie,
J'avance
Coeur en partance
A mille lieues de toi
mon roi
Bénie soit cette ultime errance
Qui doucement allège ma croix
Puisque tu n'es plus là
Love, love
El hawa El hawa
(Words and music: Armelle LC)
Thank you to Bizet and Carmen.

Lost Princess (Princesse à l'ouest)
................
What legend am I dwelling in
What castle are you trekking to
Who's the one acting the witch
Are the bad the good torn in two?
Tell me where
The action takes place
Is it fair
I can't see your face?
Do you climb up hills
Do you tilt at mills
Will you need to kill
To reach me?
Do you cross meadows
Is my grass mellow
Does the tale allow
Naughty scenes?
Are there waters
Are there streams
Do you like lazy mornings
Do you think there is a chance
This will have a happy ending?
(Words and music:Armelle LC)
