À mon Amour (a poem in french) - IvanXLIV - 03-17-2016 I hesitated for a good while before posting this. Like all of us here, I have a real life outside of the game and the forum... and I am privileged to have a wonderful mate at my side. It is only fair that she gets to be my Muse too, from time to time. A bit of warning... I reveal a lot about myself in this poem. I'm a little frightened it will scare away (or disappoint) some of my friends here. If it does, I will respect their decision to cut all ties with me. Here goes... J’oublie souvent combien tu es exceptionnelle, D’une grande ouverture d’esprit, tolérante Aux différences; révélant une si belle Imagination ô combien surprenante        Dans tes propos quotidiens, tout en demeurant      Pratique, efficace et toujours rationnelle…      À mes yeux ces atouts, ces charmes sont autant      De raisons de te trouver, mon amour, plus belle   Que jamais, et de mesurer combien je suis Privilégié de t’avoir, toi, à mes côtés; De pouvoir compter sur toi, le jour et la nuit, D’être la mère de notre enfant adoré…        Je t’aime tant, n’en doute pas un seul instant      Je t’aime telle que tu es, mon cher amour;      Si tu veux bien me supporter encor longtemps      Je serai à toi, maintenant et pour toujours. Ivan P.S.    I will privately provide a translation to those who request it. The translation has been added further down the thread. RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Altaria - 03-17-2016 Well I'm going to need a translated version but read it a bit and from what little I understand it's beautifull and very sentimental RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Emmie - 03-17-2016 I would like a translated version as well, my French is very limited. I do know how to read it, even if the words mean nothing to me. And it does sound quite beautiful at least. ^^ RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Kyrios - 03-17-2016 It's lovely Ivan. RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Cath - 03-17-2016 Si ça, ce n'est pas de la poésie, je ne sais pas se que c'est. My goodness, the feelings are intense and it reminds me of famous French poets. RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - IvanXLIV - 03-17-2016 Upon reflexion, perhaps I should post a loose translation in the thread... of course, the result will be devoid of rhymes. I've left the overall structure intact, however. I often forget how exceptional you are, Greatly open-minded, tolerant Toward diversity; revealing such a beautiful Imagination so surprising   In your daily sayings, while being Practical, efficient and always rational… To my eyes, those attributes, those charms are so many Reasons to see you, my love, as more beautiful   Than ever, and to appreciate how much I am Privileged to have you by my side; To be able to rely on you, day and night, To be the mother of our beloved child…   I love you so, don’t you ever doubt it I love you as you are, my dearest love; If you are willing to tolerate me a while longer, I’ll be yours, now and forever. Cheers, Ivan RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Boy_No_Good - 03-17-2016 That is stunning. Your lady must truly be special, to inspire such words. And she is lucky also, to be the object of such affection. RE: À mon Amour (a poem in french) - Altaria - 03-17-2016 Damn, now I'm crying. That's so lovely, so beautifull. Your lady is pretty damn lucky to have you.
