How many of us really do communicate or say anything with our words?


Hide-and-seek/ cache-cache


Hide-and- Seek

When we talk, do we really say
What's on our heart? Do we convey
A message to the one beside us?
Or do our words just help to hide us?


Cache-cache

Lorsqu'on parle, est-ce qu'on dit quelque chose?
Des mots du coeur? Est-ce que tu supposes?
Que tes mots soient compris de l'homme à  c'té -
Ou est-ce qu'ils juste servent à te cacher?

bonne question... j'imagine que ça dépend du contexte et qui se trouve à nos côtés dans le moment... en tout cas pour moi c'est comme ça... si j'suis bien à l'aise, je communique sans compromis... sinon, j'avoue que j'me cache de quelque façon... j'crois bien que nous le faisons tous... réellement aimé le contenu du texte et la manière qu'il est présenté dans les deux langues... :f xx

A good question, and a well posed one!

Then, there is another side of it: sometimes, our words can reveal much more than what we intended:

And if we think we can disguise
the meaning of our heart in words obscure,
can we then be completely sure
our secret is concealed from people's eyes?

Welcome on the bay, Betsy!

The title is better in French, but I get a kick our of your rhymes in English--lines 3 & 4 especially. As a beginning student of French, I really enjoyed this!
