Summer Night

Amid the remnant crowd of the summer ball,
I spotted a lithe frail girl standing on her own.
A two drinks courage and a recital
pushed me toward this apparition.

I mumbled something, etherized on the scene,
Drawn and resurrected when, timidly on the lawn
you kissed me. I, then blessed, find i am humming;
joyfully swimming in one indistinct drone

I held you tight like I held you for the last time,
Spinning along the music in my awkward arms.
As the moonlight lingers a moment on both our heads
I whisper to your ear the words of someone else.

And in the leafy kiosk we danced when the band was gone.
we laid on the grass and gloried the splendent thane.
you kissed my eye and held my hand,
contemplating the moon in its descent to dawn.

I, then blessed, find I am humming in the summer night.

Letter (lyrics)

there's some memories you keep flashing out on your script
the way the candles light or furniture in the street
the lonesome house's no more lonely now I replaced your tambourine
feels like we're lost, feels like we're tide upon our sleep

(but) where have you been?
(but) where have you been?

along the way you've lost your charm, I've lost my friends
seems like karma came back and smack us in the face
it's a long path to be alone to be disgraced.
the more we aged the harder it gets to keep on keeping on

(but) where have you been?
(but) where have you been?

Heart of Darkness

"dearest what a feeling watching you dancing in the fire
our ship a-sailing somewhere
along the road the marching band filling up the gap
the soldiers left, and your cries.

Ten million voices united behind one man
paragraphs of hatred disillusion.
They're yelling at their teachers and yelling at their friends
heading in the wrong direction

and it's a long way to the shadow,
it's a long way to the shadow and you 're not there yet
it's a long way to the shadow,
it's a long way to the shadow of the heart of darkness

The sound of silver and the boots tapping on the ground
your mothers are lodging a foreign tongue
the bomb scent in your nostrils and the cemetery land
the river has grown old today"

New song - "Seafarer"

After Caroline the night dresses in light
myrtle colour like when we danced in the park
for everything you sight, your reddened lipstick gasp
no mourners can defy the mouthed joy-song you cast

I crested my head high, darkened the virgin page
content and inmate, all at rest on the ledge
While my seafarer mind already with the land
I would berthed and furled where the watchfire stand

After Caroline storms went silent again
blended with the lawn the gardeners forget
that laurel overtake melting in summer scent
when muses inspire and writers lose themselves

• Seafarer by Damîen C. Wilde

Facebook list ....

I usually don't like mail chain, but my friend Marie did a list and it inspired me so I did one well and it goes like this:

1. I wasn't born in Versaillles, but in Paris 14 at the Hospital Saint Joseph, and I like this name

2. I was a lonely kid, I never collected friends and they never collected me.

3. I have been running away for years now and I don't really know what I am running away from.

4. I have never been "cool", I am a social retarded

5. I love driving fast, "whom never felt the adrenaline of the fast, never really loved anyone"

6. i have no physical skills, i hate being enslaved by my body, I want to be a soul

7. I am soon to be 25 and it freaks me out !

8. I am really snobbish, I hate people with bad taste.

9. I have serious issues with my father

10. I wish I was a painter, I have the Serge Gainsbourg's dilemma

11. I think Julien Coulon should be a national hero

12. I collect books, especially poetry books and it's gonna cost me a fortune to ship my books back home

13. I wasn't popular when I was in high school and it's not a surprise

14. I am an aesthete

15. I am changing my name, I am gonna wear my grandfather's name

16. I support 3 teams : Arsenal, Boston Celtics and Arizona Cardinals (because of Jerry McGuire)

17. I am in love with a girl I haven't met yet and I am gonna marry her, seriously

18. I read Time Magazine and I think everybody should

19. W.H. Auden inspired me to write one of my first song.

20. I once stole a book in a library, it was from Françoise Sagan and I instantly fell in love with her. I think everybody should have this kind of experience with an author.

21. I am french but I don't drink coffee

22. I am a sailor

23. I have baby fever, I know everybody's trying to discourage me, but still I want a little girl, and the worst part, I already picked the name
