Anna SamsKaïa

« You come like a ghost
And walk like a shadow
Full of your nocturnal secrets.
You just wanted a moment.
Your face is in my soul.
We were off limits
And you didn’t know it.
Your thoughts whispered.
Your transparent mind was asleep.
You fell in love with this dream.
You came like a ghost,
You left
Like a shadow.
And you didn’t know it. »(©Anna SamsKaïa)

Fernando Pessoa

« And as the soul is that which does not appear
The most perfect soul is the one that never appears
which is made with the body,
The absolute body of things,
The completely real existence, without shadows, without me,
The complete and absolute coincidence of a thing with itself. » (Fernando Pessoa)

Françoise Hardy et Iggy Pop

« I’ll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through

In that small cafe
The park across the way
The children’s carousel
The chestnut trees
The wishing well

I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summer’s day
In everything that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way

I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you

I’ll be seeing you
In every lovely summer’s day
In everything that’s light and gay
I’ll always think of you that way

I’ll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I’ll be looking at the moon
But I’ll be seeing you. «
