IF STATUES CAN TALK
It is true,
the things that disappear,
are usually the nicest.
Château de Versailles
May, 2021
preface
In these shadows
All that they crave, turns to dust
Into the deep
There are secrets I bury
I've seen the Sun falling
I've heard the Queen crying
Three hundred and six years of
Silenced dreams
la fourberie
statue, marbre, 1684
Behind the velvet mask
Who was the King's favorite of all?
Under the moonlight
She was dancing with the Sun
A thousand roses bloomed in the garden
I smell the burning desire
Like storm in the morning light
Ohh, can't anybody see
The Queen was fighting for a losing war
nymphe et amour
groupe, bronze, 1685
His love,
Like a shooting star falling down
Landed in the Queen's eyes
Blew out the Sun, the moon
No day, no dawn
Left her forever in the twilight
A black baby was born and was taken away
She screamed out loud
Tears dropped in the lake from her empty eyes
Every day, every night
I'm sorry,
The things that disappear
Are usually the nicest
Persée et Andromède
groupe, marbre, 1679
The second I saw her
Naked tied to the rock
I had this rush of blood to the head
So I started a riot for her
I burned for her
I twisted the sword of Athena and
bled my aching heart
I kneeled and crawled to her
Until she believed in me
And I would never be ignored
