I Thought I Had Found Love

A poem ?

I thought I had found love,
when all along I was nothing more than the chosen of the vultures.

It's absurd.
Almost impossible not to laugh at it.

Better to laugh,
to savor the madness.

How could I have believed
I had grown wise
after so many shipwrecks?

How could I have thought
I had bent beneath my law
that untamed force
that has brought down kings?

What arrogance!

I paid the price
of my ignorance.

Perhaps another low blow
from Providence,
a reminder
to return to humility.

Yes, I thought I had found love,
when all along I had been thrown
to the vultures.

J'avais cru trouver l'amour

J'avais cru trouver l'amour,
alors que je n'étais que l'élu des vautours.

C'est insensé.
Presque impossible de ne pas s'en moquer.

Mieux vaut en rire,
savourer ce délire.

Comment ai-je pu croire
être devenu sage
après de nombreux naufrages ?

Comment ai-je pu penser
avoir courbé sous ma loi
cette force farouche
qui a fait tomber des rois ?

Quelle arrogance !
J'ai payé le prix de mon ignorance !
Peut-être un autre coup bas de la providence,
fallait qu'on me rappelle à la décence !

Oui, j'avais cru trouver l'amour,
alors qu'on m'avait jeté en pâture aux vautours.

Just something that I wrote this week. The mirror question is: can we really understand love even after many experiences? Can we truly understand the human’s heart ?
