Don't Look Back

Written on the walls of Shobana Gomes:

Don't look back at the pain you have endured in the past. It carries nothing but heartaches. Every new day is a chance to make things brighter, to live, and strive to stay alive longer. Cherissez les moments que vous avez pour vivre.

Chérissez chaque instant, car une seule seconde peut être fatale.

Chérissez le fait de vous réveiller chaque jour.

Chérissez le don de la vie. - 2026.

THE FRENCHMAN AND HIS LADY

I took a walk in Paris one night

And watched the lovers there charm the sights

I watched a Frenchman and his lady love

When they kissed, their passion sizzled.

As they gazed into each other’s eyes

I could see that they were oblivious to a staring world

He got on his knees with a rose in his trembling hand

And proposed to her with a tender heart.

She looked at him from the height of her stilettos

Her racing heart I hear from as far as Syros

I guess it was a liaison - Francais

A twosome passion that was love

A "yes" it was to the man who dared,

To set her heart racing with a burning fire.

Ah, the French, they love their women with fervour

They speak the language of romance for sure

Their attention is much sought after

The lady was lucky to have a Frenchman as a lover.

A poem I came up with while writing The Frenchman and His Lover, a long time ago.
