the ripple effect

a man needs to be reprimanded to correct his behavior

 

you’ve stumbled upon the anomaly of this city

c’est moi

je suis différent

for better, for worse

fascinating nonetheless

 

you’re still stumbling, so

how will you ever acknowledge

the difference

between me, and them?

keeping it meaningless

 

would your sisters

your mother

respect

your disrespect for women?

your leap before your look?

 

as i played “Ordinary People”

for you

i commented on the extraordinary

c’est moi

je suis jolie, c’est vrai

 

but i’m more

i’m so much more

 

et toi

tu est impossible, il n’est pas moi

i see through the barrier

there is an uncommon fabric in your existence

beneath the textured surface you parade

 

but you behave ordinary

like an ordinary man

 

is this how you wish to live?

 

wouldn’t you rather be swinging

from trees?

wouldn’t you rather penetrate

the tough skin of the pomegranate?

and get to the unique interior

 

vive la différence!

 

seize the opportunity while it presents itself

open your mind

to the optimistic woman

who makes the passion for living

effortless

Colette, i found your love poem to hold the heart
sentimentally, expressions of sculpted desires, as
i found the passion of the wording Captivatingly
intriguing, skillfully rendered thoughts of emotion,
poetical brilliance, in my opinion, the city being
the optimistic woman who makes the passion for living
effortless, You truly never cease to amaze me, peace, mike
