Jane de La Vaudère

« Words have their color and kisses too
Some, with the pale tone of roses with their petals stripped,
Fly away sadly towards the blurred peaks
Where the regret of the frozen memory cries.

Others, last flowers, on the hardened path,
With petals of frost, with corollas dug up
In tears of crystal, are to rusty souls
Of an immaculate white under the darkened sky.

Some have the discreet tone of violets;
Others, almost erased, soft and frail skeletons,
Seem to me a swarm of large gray butterflies.

The black kiss of evil bites like a gouge,
But the king of kisses with which my being is enamored
Is your kiss of blood, your ardent red kiss! » (Jane de La Vaudère)
