Communicating for you
Communication appears essential When what you research daily is uncommon and has a shine for your eyes No other people can see. Selecting the words is the job And depicting them in images Hard. You will fill the white pages With memories and sensations Others live on holidays And you feel in the lab When… Continue Reading →
Young heart in the lab
I see your young eyes investigate the lab Still blind to the unsolved forms In each corner. The will to learn comes with a fear and a personal journey That is never considered and hard to predict In intensity. Your basis is solid yet green Holding promise for us all Too old but not too… Continue Reading →
Trust your hands and step forward
Years of hypotheses and confrontation Gave you that idea Of marvelous potential And unmeasurable impact For the people and the society.

Thank you
Thank you for the music That paced my moves and my moonwalks Through the lab. Thank you for the space That rapidly filled with ingredients of unheard potions.

Did you hear the trumpet?
Alone in silence I stare at my samples All lined up and ready to prove themselves Like little timid soldiers.

Holiday practice
Jingle jingle in my head That ā you shouldā I push away With mails and documents That only drain. Holidays are often theoretical And the duties hang on my arm. More practice is needed.
Love study
Love is green And grows unattended Between your pinky toes. Soft and flexible You do not notice it Still enjoy its silent support. Years have passed Studies have been completed, Or only new?
Sneaking out
Even today you can Break free Through the little break in their attention. In that second others ignore, You will change your path And will never feel Imprisoned on a sunny day In a fruitless office.
December morning
You cannot escape the rays of the sun On a December morning. Pure energy, They attract and recharge you When no entertainment seemed possible.
Privacy respect
I thrive for communication, Yet i fear the overdose. Attacks from messages, instant and always urgent, Are invading my time. Emails respect boundaries And leave the time to you When they are distilled as drops And no river breaks the boundaries.
Open window
What comes through the window Is a gift and a tool That chances and love Send you today. I have only a Narrow breeze That can cross And the empty air can still Make me close my eyes and Bear natural freshness.
Autumn vibes
Get up and get inspired In this opaque autumn day That has nothing reserved in its poor pockets Just for you. Grab these dead red leaves And colour your way to work. Get spinned by this wind of change And hold on To those who know love.
Workaholic
I often deny the beauty Of the world passing by And neglect the true source Of a life to remember. Springing water can clean my avidity With its transparent and youth And I will make sure I will get surprised Each time.
Meeting survival
Just let it happen and distance yourself By flying to the coming singer And exploring for the perfect Christmas present Whole they all waste words. Nod and consider W what is really important to you And take notes To plan your short but dense free time And your next knitting project.
Couple time
The coin has flipped And my mood with it. A simple bet turns into an exercise Of patience and self-awareness. I cook, I clean, I give my sweaty time away And collect you.
Horizon hold
Now you can see me And include me in your plans Of succulent dinners and unreachable offices. I will embrace your plan, Obscure and personal, Until we stand on a higher rock And I will see what the horizon holds.
Algorithm in blue
I will fall asleep like a cat today At The repetitive sound Your hand produces on the keyboard. You are absorbed and isolated Into the virtual world Of the blue light Of data and algorithms And my efforts are childish When passion is addiction.
Destiny selection
You are looking somewhere different In the picture where all are proud. Tired of belonging to the crowd, You found your focus, Far and not so well defined. With Each step you take it becomes sharper and maybe closer, Almost tangible.
Instinct talking
The instinct never lies And lime a radar spots the dangers For you Even when hidden under the surface. Listen and draw the map To avoid the traps Like a champion of alpine slalom.
Lysozyme love
Few days are left To tell the story of the little protein That from an egg ended up in the pharmacy And into my throat. Small miracle of evolution, I admire you And love you For your stubbornness and generosity.
Book bored
Boredom sweats from this book That fills my commuting For a free days more. Know yourself, Choose your readings accordingly, Dig into the time machine.
Home prize
The arrival home Is a proper for the intense day As the boiling stew expects a smile and a daily achievement. The day closes sweet and homey After hours in the artificial world That takes your breath away.
Candy training
Up and down the candy goes Sitting lazy on my belly And looking at me While breathing heavily. I see you, I dare you, I hear with my eyes When my abs stretch and push it away.
What is
The answer to your shaking Sits patiently hidden at the bottom of those drawers Or in the farther of the thoughts. You have attended all tasks in sight for today But cannot sit still and breathe. Running in the wheel and digging The missing piece emerges With what has to be done To feel worthy… Continue Reading →
Rain reason
I am grounded by the drops Of this rain with no reason And purpose. It is regular, yet unexpected and comfortable Like a familiar face that left long time ago And is now back to wake you up.
Work prize
It has a warm price The recognition of your work by a friend. Work talks stay at work And the focus is down to that stained bench That stores your weapons and your solutions.
Life lessons
Living happy proceeds through only two lessons Like take of a mountain train. Try not to Don’t scare your friends With deep talks on kinetics And how your birth marked the anthropocene. Learn to improvise in critical situations As if you are on stage receiving an Oscar And smile.
Dear friend
I know you are connected to my heart Even miles from here And on another country. Surrounded by factories, You can feel my call, When the routine gets boring And the heart heavy.
Baby vision
Red Hair and a pointy nose Are your ticket in this trip Between mountains of velvety sheeps and tons of vivid petals. I see what you see With suspense And touch those peculiarities That dot the panorama And that drive me to the top.
Grass concert
The young grass is stinging my feet That enjoy the spontaneous ground Like small children with no doubts. They move with the notes Of crickets and beetles, Of dark butterflies with big eyes, And make a personal rhythm I can only feel.
Marking territory
I yawn like nobody else exists And my muscles enjoy a little reading I only know it could feel so good. In a crowd, yet behaving like alone, Is the human equivalent of marking your territory of freedom And of personal expression.
Invest
Silence that voice and break that poking finger Before having a rest. Your eyes close And a million possibilities rise When you invest in dreaming.
Boss support
I live differently, Comfortable and unique In my spacious 1% of opinions, Future wishes, and behaviour. No stream against, just a beautiful panorama I contemplate sitting With you, boss.
Business way
What if the give values To your prolonged words And keeps mine hiding? The sense of knowledge And the desire of integration Control my behaviour That becomes unnatural. Unnatural is the way, It is the business way.
Surrounded
Time is not wasted, As you think, While staring at the horizon of today. The mountains lay closer And clouds are covering the sparse houses And their lights. Today, the valley is narrow And hugs me with no escape.
Walking together
Leave me behind with no regret, I will thank you when I will reach you, Alone and proud, Tired and older. We share no path, Yet we walk together, And hold hands against the tide.
Limitless corner
Reason alone in a corner, Curled up in thoughts of limitless costs And added your innovation bloom Like when you were A just arrived first-year student. Thoughts of Time and money Chain your unique ideas To a desk at the end of the classroom Buy few steps Will take you forward.
Sound of annoyance
Unplug the crowd and burst a sphere of silence Around me, If you love me. Decibels in millions are irritant And have their nemesis In hugs, avoidance, and personalization. Accept reality, ignore its sound.
Pair match
We are shaken like socks In a washing machine Started on an early morning Of July. I feel you, my love, Near but thorn, present but distracted, But always similar.
Isolation
I am thrilled By the pursuance of your support And your clear reading of reality. Trying not to personally analyse The surrounding actors, I guard my core And hide, Behind a little golden fence Of love.
Work control
Even on this tortuous mountain In this dry day off July, I feel you watching me With Your magnifying lens. Your rules are met And my sweat will drop to the floor At any minute. Your lens makes you feel powerful, Yet it burns me in my place in the sun.
Pajama at work
I will not stay awake Or feed on chocolate Examining your assumptions And what is expected from me. I will love in pajama Inside And cuddle my desk and computer Like a lover does To support and let the best grow.
