Chants dans la brume

Il ne faut que des roses, un jardin plein de rêves, et l’amour.
Peu m’importe si les bras n’ont nul élan,
Si les bouches ne se rejoignent même pas :
Dans le chaste silence des lèvres s’entendent mieux les pas légers du visiteur.

J’ai désiré d’idéales caresses et j’ai pleuré l’amour que je n’avais pas
Un jour ma chair s’effeuillera sous la terre.
Un jour j’ouvrirai au regard des anges mon cœur inconsolé.

Je veux un chant pour vous plus léger que la brise
Et plus suave que l’écho de votre nom.
A mon doigt ému vous avez posé une invisible bague.
Sur votre front tremblant je poserai un invisible chant.

Je ne sais ni d’où vous venez ni quels rêves attendent votre sommeil.
Comme un papillon mystérieux dans ma chambre vous êtes entré.
Je vois vos ailes et je hais les mains lourdes qui voudraient les saisir.
Mais dans la chambre, devenue magique, mon cœur inquiet veille le fragile trésor.
