Tonton Mond

Un départ inattendu
Fracassant toutes nos pensées
Mettant nous tous en dérisoire
Que Dire?!
Que Faire?!
On se rapproche de ceux qui restent,
Par peur de les perdre demain.
Des "Je t'aime" tombe par millier
Des appels incessants pour se rassurer
Des sanglots par-ci, par-la
Notre "Héros Familial,
Notre "Poto Mitan Djanm"
A pris son envol.

Ton voyage si brusque,
Nous égare dans les ténèbres,
Nous laisse un vide incapable de combler.
Nous chérissons tout ce que nous pouvons,
Chaque petit souvenir, chaque petite blague et chaque geste
Nous avons un grand mal a l' accepter,
Mais que faire, sinon qu'apprende a guérir
Et réapprendre a vivre a tout instant
Tout de toi nous maque,
Ta joie de vivre encore plus.
Maintenant, dors paisiblement.
               Nous t'aimons "chouchou"
                                                     Ladymyou

Pouki

Lanmo ale, li tounen;
Li vire ale, li vire'l tounen.
Map cheche konprann,
Mwen paka konprann.
Pa konn ki lang pou'm pale,
Pa konn kijan pou'm krye,
Pa kon koman mwen senti'm.
On lot fwa anko,
Nanm mwen chire.
Lavi ban'm on souflèt,
Fè'm konprann li banm trop kado.
Pou'm akseptel, pa mandem sa;
Men mwen reziyen'm.
Se pa sa nou te vle, men se sak rive.
On lot fwa anko,
Map di orevwa.
            Pour toi Tonton Mond...

L'amour

L'amour, une force agissante que l'on ne peut ni mesurer, ni définir et pourtant il donne gout a la vie

L'amour ce n'est qu'un simple mot très court qui devrait être partager indubitablement jusqu'à l'infini 

Cependant il peut être très éphémère commençant aujourd'hui et le lendemain déjà fini

L'amour nous rend fou c'est ce que l'on dit 

On le vit le jour comme la nuit

Je vous dit qu'il n'y a pas plus fou que ce dernier a tel point que l'attache devient phobie

L'amour en soit nous rend sage 

Des fois il nous rempli de rage

L'amour c'est un bien, un bien qu'il faut accumuler d'avantage

Parce qu'avoir le coeur brisé cela n'existe seulement que dans la tête,
Il faut avancer dans ce monde dit dynamique et tourner un peu la page 

Enfin l'amour c'est la raison qui fait que l'on soit ici présent aujourd'hui
Ensemble entre familles et amis

L'amour c'est nous qui allons déguster les plats bien préparés
L'amour , Mes amis , Finissons donc nos soirées tout en amour ...

Deyò A Pa Gen Anyen

Sadly...

To those of you who still think things through, how do u do it ?
I mean, there is so much going on around, and yet so little happening ?
Our current world is set on such a fast track lately.
We are either running after money, fame, or education and food too.
Or we are so complacent we stagnate in our never ending social environment.
An important number of us are living the "Yolo" way.
The rest are out there trying to be saints. Who cares though?
Any one out here dare to tell me they don't front.
It is true a smart mind has an educated opinion on anything and everything.
But let me ask you, those things you believe in, are they really who you are?!
You donate to charity but you really think that dollar you give at a store feeds
A child somewhere across the world ?! I sure hope so …
You believe in human rights! Food ! Drinking water ! Education! Freedom of speech! And yati yata ! Nothing wrong with that ! Admirable even! But then i watch you be and i don't get it!
You are rude in the way you interact with others ! They don't matter to you because you know, Yolo! You are young, and wild and free, i get it! But you don't know who you are! Because you don't care! You have dreams, you hustle, you are going to make it!
I hope you know where you are going, because i sure as hell don't know where you are at.
I'd like to believe you have a shot. But i don't …
You'll be fine i know that, the world will adjust to accommodate you
… Sadly ...

Light of Day ...

You are , you see , you hear , you feel ...
You try , you fail , you hurt , you heal ...
You pray , you laugh , you cry , you swear …
You breathe , you shiver , you struggle , you scare …

And then comes a day, you fall ,
And don't bother getting up at all ...
You lay there worthless and weightless …
You start to think but you've turn thoughtless ...

You get a full review of all and everything ,
That pinned you down to where you're laying …
You can barely get a good look at the sky ,
Because you are tearing up, and can't tell why ...

They say if you look long enough at the abyss ,
It starts looking into you, is it valid for the stars ?
It all comes back to those last few seconds ,
Right before you decide to get up from the sands ...

It's a little hard to explain as a reason ,
But if you stare long enough at the horizon ,
You are bound to see the darkness start to fade away ,
Until there is nothing left to see but light of day …

When you do step up again,
Will you be stronger then ?
Will the sun have risen and therefore,
Will you stand taller from before ?

Zanmitay

Pi mal ke lonbraj mwen

Li toujou la

Menm lè pa gen limyè

Li toujou la

Li toujou konprann mwen

Dèfwa li konprann mwen twòp

Nou te fèt pou n’ ansanm

Nou tèlman bon zanmi

C kòmsi nan venn li gen san'm

Se vre dèfwa li konn fè yon ti lache

Men'l pa janm lage'm

Lè'm nan cho

Li kanpe rèd

E pa tann gad li bese

Tank chalè a pa desann

Li se yon gwo timid

Se sak fè pifo moun ki wè'l

Wè'l ak chapo

Lè'm raz li banm distraksyon

Li toujou la

de tout fason

Li se pi bon zanmi'm

Big patnè'm

Boul Grenn mwen

                               Theory 

Ou La Men Ou Pa La ...

Ou twò lwen'm pou'w prèm konsa

E ou twò prè'm pouw lwen'm konsa

Twòp manti nan verite sa a

Yo dim fou men se pa vre

Se tèt mwen ki pati

Mache chèche pa domi san soupe

E si se pa manje mtap chèche

Ou di'm tann

Voye je'w gade w'ap wè m'gentan finn seche

Pouki lè'm ap gad solèy la kap leve

Ou ap gade'l kap kouche

Se vre se te yon solisyon

Men'l koze twòp pwoblèm

Kè'm an mank

E m'pap jwenn dwòg sa a tou pre

M'pa nan manti

Sa pa anpeche'm manje

Men a chak fwa m'ap manje m'preske toufe

M'pa konn kot sekrè a ye

Men gòj mwen toujou sere

Nou ka ri si'm di m'son mò kap viv

Men mwen… mtrè serye

A Pathetic Lover

I love how i cannot stop thinking about you.
How even though you don't seem to care,
I am still breathing for you

Now tell me,
Tell me why I must be so in love with you
It's like , it's like …

I don't even know the right words to use there.
Maybe i don't have them,
Or there are none out there to help me describe it.

I love how i'm hurting like hell but
Somehow i still want you.
Do you know how much strength it takes
To love you with all these broken pieces of my heart,
When you are the one who broke it in the first place.

Courageous, Maybe? …
Yes, courageous…
I never had that much in me.

To love a person like that with all of me,
When i'm certain of a negative outcome,
Am i pathetic?

Might be hurting like hell, but
Knowing that i love you
Makes me smile sometimes …

Hmmm, … I'm left with no soul once you have left
A coward that's what i am
I'm scared of loving anybody else ever since
But then again, hurting for your love is bittersweet.
Is it really love?

I know you will fuck me over again
If you have another chance with me.
But hey, at list i would be happy for a while, right?

But… I know you will break me again.
Yet, nothing can stop me from having these feelings for you.
And despite all the hatred, the bruises, and the pain,
i'm Stil in love with you …
How pathetic? ...

Anpil Souvni …

Mwen pa konn si sa konn rive'w
Pou chita poze poze, epi lan panse'w
Souvni dantan'w ap flannen,
Epi yo ba'w on ti dan griyen …
Monchè M'pa kache di nou sa
M'pa kwè gen on jwèt ke mpa esseye...
Si'w Leve pòtoprens Ayiti,
Se sur ou jwe nenpot dis lan jwèt sa yo.
Se vre m'tifi men m'te jwi ...
Rele rat, rat ! mte grennen !
Mwen leve bonè, Mwen domi ta...
Mwen jwe football lan lari...
Mwen teke mab lan koulwa
Si pa gen lakrè trase'l a chabon ...
Mwen voye woch dèyè fwi ,
Mwen monte pye bwa ...
Mwen pwan woulib desann lan bouda kanntè,
Fe kous kouri pou tounen monte ...
Mwen degringole mònn sou bekan
Degidon, chaine soti, A A oye ...
Mwen bote dlo lan fontenn,
O fèt Swadizan, ou fè senk èdtan lòt bò a
Senk minit ap plen, dis pou tounen lakay a'w
Woule tèt bokit ak fè seso
Fè rara ak bouda bokit la
San konte gè fistibal pandan vakans
Zam plomb, zam peta epok desanm
Monte mi pou ale ka vwazinay
Na dim sa pa jwèt tifi men
Mte fè sa yo tou wi
M'Jwe Marèl pou mariaj,
M'jwe woslè pou tap ,
San konte poupe epi sote kòd tou
Te vin gen nintendo playstation
Sèl bagay m'pat arive monte kap la vre Seyeu
M'pat fouti ka konprann koman vodou bahay sa a pati
Afè lago kache a li menm, mpat supote sa...
Men se pa grav ! mpat nwi …
Mpa konn pou ou men mpa regret
Depi tou piti mleve Ayiti
Anpil Souvni …
Tiye'm rache'm se la pou'm mouri …

Ma cherie

Je parle de toi souvent,
Cela en devient une obsession.
Mes yeux brillent et rêvent,
Quand je cite ton nom.
Je repense à ton parfum humecté de pluie
je rejoue tes musiques cherits,
Je revois tes routes cahoteuses,
je souris à ces peintures colorées
Qui ont tant comblée mon enfance;
Journée ensoleillée à la mer,
Ou dodinant sur une gallerie,
Emportée par la fraicheur du vent, 
Dans un sommeil profond.
Mais ici, je n'ai qu'existence.
Tout ce qui me donne vie,
c'est un souvenir de toi.
J'ai tant de mal à les convaincre,
A leur faire comprendre
cet amour qui, sans cesse, ne fait que croître
Depuis mon départ.
Ils me croient dérangée
Ils ne manquent pas à la moquerie.

Je leur montrerai que tu n'es pas délaissée.
Je leur exposerai tes vertus.
Je leur dévoilerai tes trésors précieux;
Ton courage d'aller de l'avant
Même quand tout semble perdu,
Ta foi dans l'obscurité.
Quand tout perd espoir,
Ta beauté dans le laid.
Quand tout est souillé,
Tes enfants qui ne t'ont jamais oublié,
Qui pleurent de te revoir, Unifiée et Fleurie.
Et bientot, tu le seras, ma Belle
Car rien ne pourra remplacer ma "Perle des Antilles"
                                                                               Ladymyou

Truth be Told ...

Questions are quite a very unique species.

They tend to pile up in our minds.

All sorts and different kinds.

And eventually, we come out as crazies.

Those last couple of days, i've been wondering,

What would happened if no one ever asked about anything?

Would there be a notion of wrong, false or fake?

Damn it, See i just asked again for goodness sake ...

If we don't worry, if we don't care!

If we don't investigate, if we don't dare!

If we don't search, if we don't wonder!

If we don't doubt, if we don't ponder!

It's an interesting thing to realize, in this century,

How much we no longer try to understand ...

Yet, on every subject ,we impeach and query,

Weigh a point of view and pretend to take a stand ...

Lately, i've been wondering ...

How come we have so many questions,

And nowadays, no one is answering ...

Along the way, we got stuck on having opinions,

We lost the righteous path and forgot to teach our youth,

The meaning of it all… We forgot we were supposed to seek the truth...

Patriots

You cried out loud that you're Haitian,
But does your actions prove it?
You shout you proud of where you from,
What do you do to improve it?
You sing, "Pour le drapeau pour la Patrie"
But refuse to return there.
Always ready to begrime it,
It is this, it is that...,
It will never change.

How can she change,
When her children desist her?
Yes, for better opportunity,
But never go back.
How can she change,
When you only complain about government's actions
And won't even help forge your brothers and sisters future?
How can she change,
When to represent it, you hide behind the curtains?
Why would she change
When one of us build something, we always destroy them
Instead of empowering them?

It will never change!!

Our mentality is enslaved with hate and envy.
We won't accept the triumph of others
We put aside our ancestry, our culture
Just because of our masters's ignorance
who easily made us crawl at their feet.
You said insecurity is a scourge,
But how do people still live there,
making the best of their lives.
And in this new land,
sobbing about bills,
And always whisper" Nan peyim"
Don't you remember Bois Caiman?
It is in that spirit of unity we won
I'm not asking you to do voodoo
But don't forget what made you free.
Don't push away all this history
Don't destroy this unique mark
Without them, we have nothing,
We are nothing!!!

Hypocrite, liar that is what you are.
Bashing it daily, but reveals the greatest Mambo, Hougan at night

Haitian, what have you become?
Haitian, wake up!!!
Haitian, why don't you love others?
Haitian, will you do your part?
Haitian, it is time to be "Ayisyen".

Basic Instincts

Don't we all have this person,
Who sends us back to the dark ages?
You know…
That one guy, or girl,
Wich ever one you are into,
Who renders our minds helpless.

Whenever they are in your radius,
You smell it and sort of, kind of
I don't know …
Loose it and go totally brainless.
All you can manage to think of
Is humping, eating and sleeping...

You have no will over your behaviour.
No recollection what so ever of your actions
You know ….
As if you went back to your basic instincts
You can barely hold it together,
And the lust, the urge is overwhelming.

You want to climb it, mount it
You want to eat, you want to feed it
I don't know …
Like, no fuss, no love, no drama
Just do me, i'll do you , we sleep
And then... back at it again …

Un seul regret

J'ai tant cherché a savoir
J'ai tant souhaité comprendre
J'ai tant trouvé de solutions
Et malgré tout, les souvenirs reviennent
Hantant mon coeur, mes esprits
Se demandant s'ils ont été vrai
S'ils ont parcouru ce chemin qui n'a jamais été mien
Fausses promesses toujours gravées
Un amour mensonger oubllié
Des baisers mouillés envolés
Des sentiments mélancoliques,
Pris au depourvu
Extirpés de mes entrailles
Emiéttés dans mon endedans.

Je ne regrette rien

Mais... Toujours ce mais,
Qui nous retourne au passé,
Qui dirige nos pensées,
Qui alerte notre voulu insensé,
Qui montre a quel point,
Qu'une partie de moi
Toute insignifiante qu'elle soit
Espere encore un retour dans tes bras
                                                         Ladymyou

SleepWalking

Another one, Like everyone.
Another tale, No fairy tale.
Another story, I am sorry.

A dream was on,
Reality is tumbling.
The hopes are gone,
Ever After is not coming.

Another one, Like everyone.
Another sad story turned bad.
Another Heart pieces apart.

Wearisomely walking around,
On a blind flight like a bat.
Let me hit the ground,
I've got to wonder where am i at.

Another one, Like everyone.
Whose dreams have gone,
Another story of things to worry.

You trust, you dream, you walk the line.
You close your eyes, you float, you're drifting.
You're free, you're light, you think it's fine,
You don't realize you're SleepWalking...

Mirror

This is me,
Me, my spirit in this body.
I have forms,
I can see,
See the light,
See the darkness.
I can touch,
feel the warm and cold fragile sense of the world.
I have a heart,
That expresses the love, pain,
Joy, and fear of the world.
I am a life that breathes.
I am alive in my unique facet
I was created to be her,
I was created to give her freedom,
Freedom of choice,
Freedom of being.
I was created to become Exceptional.
God has chosen this person for me,
With beautiful imperfections,
With multiple scars;
And amazingly found it beyond perfect

Fallen

A boy asked me today what is it about me?
I've got so many male friends and suitors,
Yet all this time I have been single,
Stuck in the so called friend zone.

"Is it because you are scared of Falling in Love?"
He asked. "Are you afraid of getting hurt?"
"Is it the taught of a broken heart?"
His questions seemed to soothe me…

Turns out I knew the exact answer…
"I'm not scared of Falling in love,
Not at all, it doesn't bother me to care,
I'm just tired of hitting the ground."

No one wants to cry, but everyone does
No one wants to die, but everyone has to
Everyone falls in love, but no one can help it

"I am not afraid of falling, I don't mind caring
With no one to catch me every time, I got tired…
You can't fall if you are already on the ground"

So I told him: "Look I have fallen,
Catch me if you can …"

                        MissAhdynn

Sister Worlds

Ever found yourself pondering over past choices,
Thinking over decisions and actions,
You've taken or not taken for that matter?
Ever found yourself wondering about options,
About other possible versions of you,
Out there in the multiverse?

I have …

I have thought about other Me's in the universe
White me ? Asian me ? Arab me ? African me ?
Tall me ? Skinny me ? Fat me ? Fit me ?
Jew me ? Muslim me ? Buddhist me ? Atheist me ?
Nah .. i'm Good ! I like Real me !
I'm sure all the other me's
From my Sister Worlds feel the same…

And then it hit me…

And i asked myself this question…
Would they all fall for the other you's ?
Could our soul transpire through the multiverse
Crossing paths over and over again?
Keeping this thing we have in an
Ungrateful vicious circle …

I hope not …

I'd like to believe one of Me
Would be smart enough not to fall for you this time.
I'd want to believe one of You
Actually likes me back but that would be too cheesy.
Or maybe Just maybe is there an actual
Version of you with a version of me
Out there that makes it all worth it…

Is it possible there is an US ? ...

Romance

Alors que les étoiles brillent de leur plus bel éclat,
Deux coeurs s'enlacent à la douceur de cette nuit.
Alors que le vent froid de novembre fait frissoner leur chair,
Leurs caresses apaisent leur frémissement
Pendant que la fête s'achève,
En un baiser échangé,
Leur âme est à jamais unie.

The Wanted

Stories tell tales of a foreigner
Traveling the lands on a white stallion
Searching far and wide for her
She whom he'd make his companion
Yeah! well stories are from century's ago
How in the world could they possibly know


He's The Wanted
The foreigner they speak of
The stranger with the smashing eyes
The dream wanderer with the killer smile


The words that come out of his mouth
Rings through our ears like ballads to our soul
The brilliance in his eyes screams, shouts
Through our frail little hearts and we fold
Bow to his awesomeness and weirdness
Fond upon his charms and quirkiness

He's The Wanted
The foreigner they speak of
The stranger with the smashing eyes
The dream wanderer with the killer smile

He roams through our minds
Curly haired fury beast fuelling on thirst
He gazes upon us blushing away
Clear blue eyes like the clear blue skies
He stands tall, puerile and confident
Smile on, red-blooded and deliciously tempting


He's The Wanted
The foreigner they speak of
The stranger with the smashing eyes
The dream wanderer with the killer smile

The Unknown

I can't see the light
I haven't planned the future

The present is a lost cause
Full with darkened path

We want everything
We need less …

Where's the real happiness?
What does life mean to us?

The ultimate truth;
Being scared of the unknown,
Leading ourselves in our own destruction
Finding that trust is luxurious...

Where do we go from there?
How do we decide to go?

Who's to say here is not
The right place to be?

We seek truth, we seek happiness
We seek fame, we seek fortune...

We thrive, We hustle, We hunt
We seek but who seek us?

On son tanbou dèyè mònn yo
