i tried to pronounce the words as i was reading them and halfway through i conjured the image of a french person smoking a cigarette as he smacked me with a stale baguette

Je ne parle pas français, mais j'ai traduit ceci. C'était sensuel. J'espère sincèrement que tu trouveras la personne qui t'illuminera comme la Tour Eiffel 🫶

I read, understood, felt.... it's SUCH a beautiful language. I am rusty, but felt the beauty of the words. Sensual.

Ahh thank you! French holds sensuality in a way English just can’t. It just feels so beautiful to me too! Appreciate you giving it a read. 🥰

Ahhh thank you so much for reading and feeling into it like that. That means a lot to me.

Yes, it is meant to be experienced in French so I appreciate the effort! I’m happy you liked it. ❤️

Oh thank you, back to English. This has been quite the hustle lol.

Well to be honest I think I understood 30-40%

It's soooo beautiful I want to be able to understand all of it. I will save it so I can come back a year later when my french improves.

You're welcome and reading it has been my pleasure 😌 keep going. I'm glad Odel shared this with me, and connected me to you 🖤

Tianna Diamond༄'s avatar

I’m happy to connect too! Yes, save it! I post poems in French every other week or so, maybe it’ll be good practice for you! I’ll definitely be snooping around your page very soon. 🤭

Yaaaay

I will be causing you a headache asking for explanation as I won't want to translate.

Sure take your time, you might find stuff that you'll like. Mostly chaos and nonsense poetry lol

My French is very rusty, I hope this is what I meant to say.

Tes mots ressemblent à de la poésie enveloppée de lumière et de désir. Il y a quelque chose de magnifiquement vulnérable dans la façon dont tu décris le fait de devenir pleinement vue.

Rest assured you are seen.
