There's something about someone who's not afraid to show emotion. (French translation below)
Storm
I met Storm In the madness of aging June At the dawn of summer Some sweet scented night When the moon let the stars have the stage They danced in the ebony sky And sparkled like heavenly gems In Storm’s honey hued hair
We just came to be Together Time stopped for awhile We must have been on the edge of… Or it was in the calm before… For Storm was quiet And mostly still
I love Storm Sometimes she’s angry Her emerald eyes flash Not unlike lightning She rants and lets her spirit Tell it like she sees it Then she is still once more As though we were in the eye of a hurricane Her voice is soft and enchanting Sometimes she even sings Softly as in a lullaby It is easy to fall asleep To the charms of Storm And never want to awaken
Tempête
J’ai rencontré Tempête Dans la folie d’un juin âgé A l’aurore de l’été Un doux soir parfumé Quand la lune avait laissé la scène aux étoiles Elles dansaient dans le ciel d’ébène Et brillaient dans les cheveux miellés de Tempête
Nous étions ensemble Voilà tout Et le temps a semblé s’arrêter Pour un moment Nous devions être au bord de… Ou c’était le calme avant… Car Tempête était silencieuse Et presque complètement tranquille
J’adore Tempête Quelquefois elle se fâche Ses yeux verts Etincellent soudainement Comme un éclair Elle harangue et laisse son esprit Exprimer tout comme elle le voit Puis elle redevient paisible Comme si nous étions dans l’œil de l’ouragan Sa voix est douce et séduisante Quelquefois même elle chante doucement Pareillement à une berceuse Il est facile de s’endormir Aux charmes de Tempête Et ne plus vouloir s’éveiller
THOUGH NOT OFTEN SEEN AS SUCH, A 'STORM' IS USUALLY A BLESSING...FOR IT IS A BLESSINGS WHEN ONE NEVER HAS TO WORRY ABOUT BECOMING 'BORED' WITH THE LIFE THAT SURROUNDS THEM. WELL DONE AND ENJOYED. THANKS FOR SHARING AND GOD BLESS. LOVE, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

I love how you make the Storm a person. It's trully a powerful write.
Wonderful poem Regis! I love the striking imagery and wish I was fluent in French so I could appreciate it in the language in which it was written. I like people like storm who do not mince words and do not hesitate to show emotion, but tell it like it is!

Very nice, Reg! I am not very good at free-verse, myself, and so, very much appreciate others' good works.
This is a fact for sure. Emotion is such a real deep thing to embark upon and alot of people are so afraid to let it all hang out. Then again we must pick and choose whom to do this with.
Beautiful. Some men love a passionate, outspoken woman to be passionate and outspoken and love her even more close up and personal. Others claim they like passion but cannot handle its fire. A man who can handle the heat is like gold perfected in her flame. As they balance, hearth and home become quite cozy. ;-)Enjoyed this enchanting write, Regis. ~~Nordette
I guess by now you know that I am a hopeless romantic. This poem portrays all those qualities and more. Once again you did an excellent job. I wish I spoke and read french to appreciate the beautiful of the translation.
... Makes me feel like red meat...!! :)) And even more tempestuous in the French. Quite suits my current Kiera Kate and Jane Austen mood, with a focus on flashing eyes and stormy heathland encounters... I LOVE this one, Regis, being one who is somewhat shy and retiring myself... :)) LOL K xx
J'adore le francais, mais ...'comme d'habitude' ...pour moi! ;) Regis, I think this is wonderful, I saw visions of the Sirens from the 'Odyssey' as I read this! Fabulous words complemented by an amazing graphic also...amour et paix. Panda :)

Oh my...This blew me away, Regis. Fantastic poem with carefully crafted and artticulatd verses, bringing love and nature together in a shining romantic spot
I once named a dog Storm as that is where we found him, struggling to set himself free of a close to shore rip current...we waded in and dragged him to shore, he growled at us and ran away...eventually we became friends...the best time to sleep is definitely during a storm...e & r
This is both captivating and enchanting at the same time, Regis. There is something electrifying about storms, and a certain intrigue in not being able to control them. Very nice, with a romantic aura that dances within the metaphor.
Take care,
Sherry
OOOh this is priceless, LOL, I am glad you see her like this, I'll remind myself next time one kicks up, ( and I'm raving and ranting)
LOL, oh so wonderfully metaphoric!!
A simple Merci will suffice here

Both are neautiful...extremely beautiful. I love nature and I live foreign langauges. Even if I don't speak french the accent is so very romantic for me.

I like the double images here. An electrical storm, the storms of relationships, the quiet moments after a storm when it's over, the tense quiet before it explodes, etc.
love the strong pull of passion this has, Reg. there's something about all storms - they're electric - and like your image of falling into your Storm. Dawn
Regis the passion in this poem is stunning...it is beautifully expressed, and has all the elements in it that arrouse the gamut of emotions. Thanks for giving the French version! Superb work!
<3 L o v e l y. <3 Et oui, the French version is tres marveillieux. . .merde, I forgot the spelling. 'Only' had three years of French. LOVE the poem. . .even love storms,'times. But a nice, slow, warm rain is more my speed. Had two days of it. . .heaven.
Thanks for beautifying life with your sensitive and intelligent
creations. Je vous aime, mon ami. Toujour, Feeleess
What a joy to read! I read the French version first, letting those beautiful words flow upon me and then read the English and found the beauty again... Lovely work!
Storm is a river of high-voltage electricity for the love of art's sake rushing through a canyon of uncensored air and when you drag your shoes across the carpet, your scuffing pulls her sensual dance of persuasion. I dare you to reach for a metal doorknob! Storm is a spool of Gaia's copper wire unwound! Word painting with a million and a half volts, Regis. At close quarters with Storm, you need a gentle touch and protection as well!...
SOME talent! I'd almost forgotten your bio reads "...French first language." Beautiful, passionate write, Regis. I don't speak, or write/read French - except for a few notable phrases - but you can do these dual-language poems for us anytime!
