On becoming a vibrant woman

By Stanley Collymore

 

Uncontrollable passions surge through my veins for you

as I intentionally throw all semblances of discretion

and rationality out of the proverbial window. For

never before has anyone impacted quite so

instantaneously and emphatically on my life

like this creating in the process a vigorously

swirling and seemingly unchecked whirlpool

of unbridled emotions that have me in a

complete tizzy where everything else

but you is now inconsequentially

implacably and forcefully

shut out of my mind.

 

How could this be? But more importantly why is

it happening to me of all people, someone who

is unapologetically staid, considered to be

and in actually is imperturbably level-

headed, not given to flights of

fantasy and what’s more is

discerning to a fault?

 

But your alluring impudence has changed all that and

like a young foal skittishly in oestrus for the very

first time and irresistibly drawn to the assertive

stallion that has triggered her condition in the

first place I too find myself completely under

your dominant spell. So what will happen

to me now I wonder? As I really don’t

know for sure and your guess is as

good if probably not better than

my own. But one thing is for

certain; the previous me is

no more and to be quite

honest with you I don’t

in the least regret

her passing.

Footnote:

It’s a fact of life whose timing while predictable and well-received by some is none the less fearfully and unwelcomingly tolerated at best by others. However, the inevitability of this significantly transformative occurrence in the lives of so many is one that’s not in doubt; and while it may be delusionally deferred by those who’re either unwilling or unprepared to assume the mantle of responsible adulthood, it can thankfully never be eradicated.
