One Bag Only

i break your rule…

but I want to grab you

be that girl that can say

the right thing

that can make us right

but I can't fix you and

and I gotta stop being that girl

that tries to fix everyone

else that’s broken

when I can’t fix myself

 

and you can't handle my overstuffed luggage

i never could pack light

deep down I know it's just an excuse

which is why I picked the fight

and forced your hand

to stop the push-pull

for us to end

what never was

better than unpacking your bags in vacancy

losing your luggage in uncertainty

 

and I know your right

my luggage is heavy

even for me

i have no business

involved

in more

until

one bag only

is more than a rule

 

…but I miss my friend

The Joys of Being French

The First Million Years or So

600 Years of Unwanted Guests

Middle Ages and the Turn of Provence

Wars of Religion and Hocus Pocus Popes

Oppression, Resistance, Quel Renaissance!

Debating The Age of Bad Taste ou Epoch Classique?

Post-War brings Socialist Mitterand and the Revival of Occitan

The Joys of Being French, Oui or N'est Pas?

 

C'est La Vie in The South of France

Santon Fairs in the Var et Renoir at Les Collettes

Columns, Columns, Columns and a Bridge

Troubadours Cansos, Love Story, La Californie of Europe

Hug the road winding the Cote d'Azur

Bordeaux, Beaujolais, frescoes in Peille

Sailing to Promenade du Soleil

 

Down the Rhone: Orange to Beaucaire

Malabar's bulging biceps swell

Jagged Alpilles, rocky plains of the Crau, marshlands of the Camargue

For the Rhone is a Saturdays Child

On to Nimes, the Gard and Montpellier

Le Vin's de Herault and Agde founded by the ancient Greeks

Narbonne, the Corbieres and the Aude, Castles and Cathedrals abound

Last but not least, there's the Catalans of Roussillon

 

Getting There

By Air, By Coach, By Car, By Train

By Boat, By Bus, By Bicycling

The Song of Summer, Cicadas tune

Siesta under pine trees and game of boules

Tender is the Night with starry skies

Bouillabaisse, Aioli, Thirteen desserts

Estocaficada and onion tart

 

Before Laying a Bet, will it be

Holiday Destination or Life on the Riviera?

Like the Fitzgerald's and Hemingway's

You will not be the first to stay

Avec votre coeur dans la méditerranéenne.
