I Said Madeleine II
I said Madeleine: Give me the pen. I’ll tell you then all of my yen. She said: Ten out of ten, you of all men. It is beyond my ken but if you want me then to visit your den say exactly when. I said Madeleine: you know exactly when, count up to ten, turn right then.

Some time till then, I will say Madeleine: Pour out your dose, hold me too close, I have a keen nose to smell your rose.

I like it, Jamshid and won't rewrite it. I take it as you present it because it reflects your feelings, the "impossible" dialogue, the languidness.
Have a look at Jacques Brel's song called Madeleine. ;-) If you can listen to it, it would be better.

Concerning passion and sin, some people make you feel this guilt.

Thanks Kaya and nice to read from you again. I didn't know about Jacque Brel but I could google myself to the text. I would love to listen to the song. Do you have the link?

Thanks Kaya it is indeed a beautiful song. For me it tells me that anything which is that emotional has to repeat the name Madeleine over and over. The text is equally emtional. I am surprised to see how much my text and this song have in common. I could even imagine singing in the same emotional way. I wish I could have been more familiar with French literature and music. It is close to my nature. I really enjoyed this black and white clip. I also like listening to old French songs by Édith Piaf and some more modern ones by Patricia Kaas.
