Just because, juste parce que



Emmanuelle where can I start,
Such a busy hectic month, and the rain!

So now you don’t know again,
I will be an hour away soon!

I know you never answered,
I think I may understand, do I really?

I left my hand open for you
There is no harm?……flowers.

See the picture?
The two yellow flowers in a ring…

Plenty of room for each to move
Yet connected together!

A bow on top, easy to reach
So each may untie…..

And leave the circle
True love is freedom!

About this poem

After writing Emmanuelle goodbye, (as her protective son said, “for her”), I healed for a month. I finally said, she may just not be ready, and I am a patient man, for her….. i connected with a local florist, the flowers are in my profile. She was very surprised….. would she think of me? The note just said….. juste parce que

    This is a beautiful piece! The emotional undertones and the subtle touch of abstract narrations are absolutely captivating. Using flowers as a metaphor for love and freedom is deeply thought-provoking. The poem possesses a lyrical quality that evokes empathy and understanding. The repeated question, "Do I really?" adds a sense of vulnerability that makes it all the more relatable.

    Room for growth and improvement is always there. A couple of suggestions would be to organize your ideas and thoughts a little more coherently to guide the reader through the journey of the poem. At certain points, the message seems to get obscured which might confuse the reader. Also, including a bit more sensory language could make the poem even more immersive—put us right into the experience with taste, touch, smell, etc.

    But overall, your poem is thought-provoking and emotionally touching. Keep writing, experimenting with different styles, and refining your work!

    So……. I got email from the florist today…..
    Hello,

    Here is the sms we received today and that we must send you.
    Good to you
    Hello madam,
    Here is the message we would like to convey:

    "Hello dear stranger,

    I wanted to thank you for this beautiful bouquet of flowers. I only find it a shame that I can't know more about your identity. I hope you will come forward.
    In case here is my contact xxxxxxxxxxx

    Good to you
    Emmanuelle

    Then i notice a whatsapp message from an unknown number, a picture of the flowers in her kitchen……

    She did NOT have my number, her friend did
