Love's Language
words flutter in breezes
lofting themselves
on currents of desire
as lovers parade their thoughts
among the leaves
always leaving the sigh
for tomorrow--
De sites ravissants
La campagne se couvre,
Et notre oeil y découvre
Des fleurs, des bois, des champs,
Et d’épaisses feuillées,
Où de tendres amants
Promènent leurs pensées.
With places of delight
The countryside is filled,
And our eyes see there
Flowers, woods, fields,
And dense foliage,
Where tender lovers
Parade their thoughts.
murmuration sweet
within the language of love
as dryads and satyrs
form roots intertwined
whispering.

C'est magnifique!!! Since I had four years of french in high school (many, many years ago, as I thought I would be traveling the world - Ha),so I thought I would respond in french, although I could interpret some of the spanish. Je t'aime bien, Faith Reaper
Ah, the romantic language. I am taking a course now, just for fun. Learning phrases. I am sure impressing my friends, but I cannot write a thing.
Glad you interpreted it. Great. Ann
Aha, Love in any language is beautiful..Amitie!!
Love sounds so brilliant in French! Lovely poem. Voted up and beautiful. :0
The way the French speak through their huge noses is a big turn on for me.
Love you poem.
Voted up and beautiful, Joyce.
Love the French, even though I only understand a few words.It's so romantic. Isn't it true that the heart "tames" or perhaps overrules??? the head! Lovely poem!
Audrey,
Votre poème est magnifique. Merci, beaucoup.
I had to use Google translate *laughing*. NOw that I know what it said--loved it! WP
Romance and love beautifully expressed. Lovely poem.
This is lovely even though I don't know any French!
Voted up and awesome. Every language has its own beauty. Like my husband always says whenever he decides to quote in Russian - I know you don't understand but in Latvian or even English it just wouldn't sound the same.C'est la vie!
Beautiful as always. Jamie
great idea, Audrey. Adding French to your English...although, I had to google to find the meaning...lol
Audrey I loved it!!!!
Tres bien. A nice mix of two languages to express love. Voting this Up and Beautiful.
