Le petit prince - Hello Poetry

CantSeeMe

his clothes like mint
blonde hair, blue eyes
living on a planet
with a flower
he needs to go
leaving her behind
thinking she doesn’t mind
meeting new people
on different planets
who only think about themselves
don't understand
how you can put your soul
on the shelf

and after all
what you have seen
you just don't want to be that mean
don't be like them
everyone but them…

homesick he became
cause now he can see
what he looked for
he already had
he just didn't realize that
a red rose

"People where you live, grow five thousand roses in one garden... Yet they don’t find what they’re looking for... And yet what they’re looking for could be found in a single rose."
--The little prince
--- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince

The fox

the earth here
sees you as a thief
an animal with teeth
they won't look underneath

but the little kid
does not care
How are you? Yes, you, right there.
he sees you as a friend
or a teacher maybe
with life lessons daily
he tamed you
and you tamed him
majestic you are
protecting you will

you are everyone at once
with the right balance

"You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
--The fox
--- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince

The lamplighter

lighting the street
with one match near

one minute it burns
and night already turns
light off
60 seconds, gone
light on
repeat
and repeat
never cheat
orders are orders

routine it is
Oh, you already knew this?
you don't choose yourself
you take orders from someone else…

you have 60 seconds each time
to live
if that's really all you want to give
60 seconds
could be more…
only if you stand open for
60 seconds
step around that planet
and dance like Janet

"But the lamplighter kept on lighting. He was too faithful to ever question."
--- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince

"it's the time you've wasted for your rose, that makes your rose so important"
--The fox
---Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince
It's just like this with another view... routine has thorns... but for the one who can't see, it becomes important, beautiful, but you're bleeding...

The vain man

look, and you will see
what you’re searching for
you already are
just deep inside you, not inside of me
it's not my opinion
that matters the most
no, then you will get lost
craving at all costs
it's yours to know if you're doing alright
deep inside
you know
for what the kid will bow
kindness it is
not egoism
for your own bliss
remember this
you can’t dismiss

"But the vain man did not hear him. Vain men never hear anything but praise."
--- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince
