Atlantis’ smile

 

This thought suddenly shakes me

And annihilates every shame and every defence

I had suffocated that stupid habit

Of Pindaric flights and of heroic tormented waiting

And I will resist this lack of oxygen

Despite the treacherous streams I will arrive

 

At the bottom of the unfathomed deep in the ancient luxury

Of a world submerged thousands of years ago

I stupidly feared the immense and ruthless beauty

The depth of your eyes

 

This thought makes the awakening sweet

Bothering the torpor, the usual laziness

Extinct scents and enchanting sunsets live again

The great hopes overwhelmed by the rage of stormy oceans

Wrapped in a prodigious atmosphere

Atlantis smiles untouched and turns a friendly look

 

At the bottom of the unfathomed deep in the ancient luxury

Of a world submerged thousands of years ago

I stupidly feared the immense and ruthless beauty

The depth of your eyes
