Great Truths

 

"Great truths are dearly bought, the common truths,

Such as men give and take from day to day,

Come in the common walk of easy life,

Blown by the careless wind across our way.

 

Great truths are greatly won, not found by chance,

Nor wafted on the breath of summer dream;

But grasped in the great struggle of the soul,

Hard buffeted with adverse wind and steam.

 

But in the day of conflict, fear and grief,

When the strong hand of God, put forth in might,

Plows up the subsoil of the stagnant heart,

And brings the imprisoned truth-seed to the light.

 

Wrung from the troubled spirit, in hard hours

Of weakness, solitude, perchance of pain,

Truth springs like harvest from the well-plowed field,

And the soul feels it has not wept in vain."

Politically Incorrect Love Poem

Written and published by Jean-Louis Mondon

A Breakfast Poem Baked with Love in the Sun

I am hereby registering my lament 

At the high court of discontent. 

If you can´t read The  Book 

Without giving me that "Woke" look

You won´t see

What you get,

When you get

What we see.

 

In this world of Yin and Yang

We are forced to choose

To have our life hang

With the one or the other,

As in father or mother.

Or friends and foes 

Just to add to our woes

To win or lose

As in topsy-turvy and willy-nilly.

 

I am not talking about race

No, at least not the one you think

The kind that´s in your face

As antiquated antics

From the bully pulpit

From pie in the sky 

To pie in your face

 

Dems are touchy-feely no more

Reps are namby-pamby encore.

As for me, I am free,

Being right that I left,

Not being in the fold

Not fitting in the mold.
Not being one of the foxes
Feeling small in their boxes

Some like it hot

Some like it cold

Me, I declare my passion,

And choose the middle motion.

Having my country left,

Being right in the middle,

Where I want to  be  found

In the middle of your arms,           

Sipping coconut water,

Being enthralled

By the power of your charms.

Since we make such a great team
To add to my irreverence

I'll blow off some steam
And have a little blast

Playing the part of the iconoclast.

Some people declare seriously:

"Tis better to have loved and lost

Than to have not loved at all".
My slogan forever will be
engraved in bold

in honor of you and me,

"Tis better to be held than to behold".

Jean-Louis.

JESUS WOULDN'T SAY NO!

Saudade - I miss you - Jean-Louis Mondon

Original em Inglês composto e publicado em 2007 por Jean-Louis

 

Sinto falta de você

Como o poeta da musa dele

Como o croissant

Do café com leite

Numa manha de deleite

Como o tutti do frutti,

Ai, não! Isso seria o cúmulo!

Sinto falta de você

Como uma floresta sem árvore

Ou um palácio sem mármore

Lábios sem beijos

E como, infelizmente

Meus braços cansados

De não abraçar-te.

Sinto falta de você

Como um trem sem estação,

Como um adeus, sem razão,

Sem lenço, nem lágrimas

Para molha-lo.

Como uma nostalgia

Sem objeto, nem sujeito.

Sinto saudade de você

Como um zéfiro tranquilo

Num redemoinho rugindo.

Como uma surdina

Na trombeta

Anunciando a calma.

Sinto saudade de você

Como uma tempestade de neve

Sem flocos de aveia

Na mesa decorada

Pelo café da manhã

 

Com um vaso de amor-perfeitos

Ocupados a bater papo

                                                          Com monólogos vazios

                                     Sem eco para partilhar

                                     Os sonhos vindouros.

Sinto saudade de você

Sem medo de ambivalência

Sem temor da emoção

Nem necessidade de aprender

Cada um a se compreender

Sem como, nem porquê.

Sinto saudade de você

Ao amanhecer do caminho

Do regresso vencedor

Que marca o destino

De todo grande amor.

Jean-Louis.
