Fresh Mind

Filed under: — Emilie @ 3:48 am

self portrait - reflection in a train window

Today I looked in the mirror
And what I saw was new
Not the wounds anymore
Not the past
But so many - infinite - possibilities.
Today…
Can I manage it this time?
Drop the bad habits
Step out of the spiral
Move forward
Just like this, without help,
If only it was as easy
As clear water on your face
Washing away the make up
And looking straight at yourself.
I really would like
To keep feeling this way
Always fresh and new…
There is no reason why
It shouldn’t work this time.
I just need to remember
How I felt today.

Sadness

Filed under: — Emilie @ 12:54 am

self-portrait

Contemplating the stones
At the sole of my feet
They look blurrier and blurrier
As the tears invade me
The evening lights perfect
And the silence is deep
What on Earth should I do
With this sadness inside me?
As far as I remember
Even in my childhood
It was always there somewhere
the sadness inside me
I’d walk away from people
And observe from afar
Contemplating the sky
Trying to comprehend…
Who on Earth should I become
Despite the sadness inside?
I hide it in a laughter
I hide it in a smile.

Partir - Poem & Photo by Emilie Wood - 3 aout 2009

Filed under: — Emilie @ 9:20 pm

woman in sheets
Lorsque la goutte d’eau du vase à ras bord
S’échappe et frappe avec violence le sol
Lorsque mes doigts fiévreux parcourant les touches
Du téléphone sans jamais y trouver
Un être humain voulant bien m’écouter
Quelques minutes de son temps me donner
Lorsque la douleur me hante
Ainsi que son visage qui m’oppresse par l’absence
Lorsque trop de pierres
Ont rempli mes poches
Elles qui ne voulaient que les fleurs…
Alors c’est l’heure
Il faut partir
Faire sa malle, sa valise. Pour aller où?
Peu importe.
Tant que c’est loin, que c’est ailleurs…
Tenter sa chance une fois de plus,
Heurter ses ailes aux vents marins
Sourire à de nouveaux visages
Plonger ses yeux dans d’autres paysages
Même sans force, avec pour seul moteur
Un désespoir, une rage, un refus du malheur.
Je prends un sac et j’abandonne le superflu
Je me retrouve seule face à la route.
Seule, oui. Mais vrai. Mais forte et vivante.

2 musicians sitting on the banks of the Seine black and white

I saw them first, then I got close, sat there… and started to get into the music, into the passion.

Un être humain

Filed under: — Emilie @ 12:22 am

Extreme close up on a handsome young man's mouth

Il n’y a rien de plus beau dans la vie
Que les liens qui se tissent entre les êtres
Un départ, une absence, même la mort
Cela ne les efface pas
Lorsque des amis chers se retrouvent
Les yeux se reconnaissent
Les âmes s’emplissent de joie
Les mots coulent des lèvres
Les liens qui existent entre les êtres
C’est notre plus beau cadeau

(Thanks to my model, Damien)

Self Portrait - May 24th 2008

Filed under: — Emilie @ 11:33 pm

self portrait

I am 28 today
I am in my new place
Alone but not lonely
Cause I have my own company.
I have been in a similar place before
But I didn’t know as much as I do today.
I don’t need to please anybody
I don’t need to be what other people want from me
I can be just who I am
And be content.
Who I am is not what it seems anyways
Who I am is not what I do
Who I am only I know
And I like what I know.
