Laetitia Payet

Laetitia Payet The purpose of this page is to serve others through poetry and music. I have been writing poems, songs and music pieces for over 20 years. I am an avid reader.

They have been shared with friends and family, at important life events, but, apart from a few publications with the United Press, never with a broader circle. As I approach my 40th birthday, I am moved to share some of them on this platform...maybe others also...

My style has evolved, developed and changed over the years, from very intricate and elaborate, to uncluttered and down to earth. It re

flects the passage of time and the reality of getting older, I suppose. What has not changed is the childlikeness that is inherent to my work and the closeness I feel towards nature, which always inspires me. I come from a family of musicians and first trained as a singer and a flautist. I then turned towards acting and spent my early twenties training and participating in various projects. I completed my studies with a Masters in Movement and worked for some years as a Movement practitioner. I now teach movement to my children. I strongly believe that every artist should practice some movement discipline. Being in touch with one's body seems to me so essential, even necessary. The two artists that greatly influenced me are actress Pascale Vachoux, who was my Movement teacher in Geneva, and Daisy Cockburn, my Alexander Technique practitioner in London. These two ladies and amazing artists were so kind, generous, inspired and inspiring. I learned that doing art or anything with love for oneself and others always works so much better. It reaches farther, relaxes everyone and wins hearts. When I was younger, I would devour books, one after the other. Now, I read whenever I can. I am very interested in History and can be obsessed about a certain event or period until my thirst is quenched and my questions are answered. I love painting; it is such a peaceful and calming activity. I listen to classical music and enjoy especially the French impressionists. The only singer that I listen to is Lior. His harmonies and melodies always surprise or even fill me with awe. I love hiking and beholding the sea. I enjoy family time.

"Sabbat

Dieu trace Ses poèmes
De nuages d'encre
À travers le ciel
Qui en rougit
Et mauvit enfin
De sommeil.

La brise soupire,
Baîlle un peu,
Souffle, le merle
Siffle doucement.
Il loue tout-haut Celui
Qui peint Son amour
Sur la pénombre.

Les dernières lueurs
Projettent leurs charmes
Sur l'écran du firmament
Alors que déjà
Quelques étoiles d'argent
S'incrustent
Sur la toile assombrie.

Tout est calme.
Les ombres de quelques
Chauves-souris
Au vol insaisissable
Passent encore, puis

C'est la nuit."

"Les herbes mûres sifflent
Dans les champs abandonnés
Où les marguerites
Balançent leurs têtes dorées
Sous le vent de mai
Sous le vent de mai

Le ciel hésite encore
Entre son vêtement gris et bleu
De fauves nuages courent
Après tant d'oiseaux inconnus, heureux
Sous le vent de mai
Sous le vent de mai

Les oliviers étonnés se courbent,
Échevelés s'argentent,
Ce printemps quand même fourbe
Les fait danser follement
Sous le vent de mai
Sous le vent de mai

Ses petits petons se recroquevillent
Dans le sable refroidi
Par la mer qui s'agite, s'éparpille
Comme les cheveux blondis
Quand le vent de mai
Va-t-il donc cesser?

En juin tranquille
Enfin docile
Demain"

"Blue watercolour weather
On my white rippling paper
On the white wall where rain falls
In washes of grey, yellow

Dot, dot,
Plic, ploc
Greener plants drink
Soft Brushes sip

Swish, swash
Splish, splosh
Paint the ground dark
Weather my heart

Blue hues drizzle all over
Colour my rippled paper
Dawn dew quenching desert dust
Gulp of delight for my thirst"
