Hanging diamonds on my window pane,
A fleeting gift from the icy rain.
They caught the light, reflecting glow,
Like chandeliers hanging made from snow.

They whispered secrets in the frozen air,
I barely listened — I wasn’t there.
I should have watched, I should have stayed,
But time’s a thief, while I delayed.

No farewells no goodbyes no parting glance,
No final dance and no second chance.
They slipped away, just drops and air,
Now all I have is "they were there."

Like perfect friends here for the week,
Or strangers passing in mystique,
No grand finale, no sad refrain,
Just silent ghosts on windowpanes.

They whispered secrets in the frozen air,
I barely listened — I wasn’t there.
I should have watched, I should have stayed,
But time’s a thief, while I delayed.

Maybe nothing’s meant to stay for long,
Like the melody in this song.
Maybe life is just like melting time,
One act, one scene, one fading rhyme.

No farewells no goodbyes no parting glance,
No final dance and no second chance.
They slipped away, just drops and air,
But I’ll never forget… they were there.

But I’ll never forget… 
they were there.

[French Embassy] - ZONE FRANCHE

Marcel was born in a hospital and became a child at a young age, showing much promise as a toddler, he was already illiterate in 3 languages before finishing elementary school. As a result of his relentless curiosity and lack of respect for social norms, he navigated successfully around receiving a formal education and entered into the work force in his teens, playing piano, performing magic tricks and stand-up comedy in exchange for money and respect.

Before reaching 20 he was already a regular at comedy clubs around Toronto, occasionally winning laughter and applause from his audience when not being booed off stage.

After working on a documentary film for a couple of magicians in China in 1999, he began to spend more time back in the motherland and became a bi-cultural jack of all trades and dabbled in many roles, taking part in everything from Beijing Music Festival to Magic shows on CCTV.

Working as a freelance creative meant he would take jobs ranging from writing to directing to acting to producing sound track for commercials and assorted video/audio projects... 

But above all, he is most proud of his work done out-side of the context of getting paid, when he writes ditties of music and songs for no purpose other than to capture a sliver of inspiration from muses who occasionally visit him in his waking dreams.
