Why she?
Because she lives in Bosphorus,
Because she is crazy in the rum,
Because she raises the foresail
Over the moon.
Why to eat her friends,
Why to draw sheeps,
Why to take time,
To speak with her of something else,
Because she makes crazy,
Because she knows how to play the violin,
That she says yes at the same time as not,
That she includes California,
Why she?
Because Montaigne annoys her,
Because her lipstick is lashed,
Because she says no to the school,
Because she tells yes the boys,
In rockets and in huts in wood,
Because she goes farther
That the words and the books,
Because she likes the pink,
Because her secret garden is an eagle,
Why she?
Because it is her, because it is me.

You have got me thinking with this write dear Yann ~ I know there is probably much more meaning to this that I do not understand ~ I have read it several times...and got the meaning for myself out of it ~ I always enjoy reading you     Alana

hI alana, this need some explanation, because I Use this process sometimes. Don't try to understand, the images are pure fiction, written like surrealist poets did in 20th century. They broke the meaning for inventing new poetry. the poem is a mix of jeux de mots, of experiences, of dreams. Don't be surprised if you dont't get it. just accept to read the crazyness of a love poem.

islander,
   I really liked the feel of this and the imagery. The subject--yep! Don't we all ask why she or he at some point, to find all kinds if crazy reasons that aren't so crazy fitting your soul so perfectly.

Yep, the last line!  Boils it all down so succinctly. The rest is just dressing - but isn't almost everything better with dressings?"

Well done, my friend
