Ode to an incomparable Lady

Tribute to a personal friend.

By Stanley Collymore

 

There’s beauty and there’s attractiveness, and

while the former is very difficult and often at

times impossible to quantify, the principal

characteristics that make beauty highly

desirable, much sought after, and easy

to empathize with are nevertheless

predictable and outmoded; relying

instead on intrinsic qualities

over which the recipient

has no control to

make their

mark.

 

Attractiveness, however, is an altogether

different entity which combines the

best that beauty can offer

with a transposable

individualism

that is intentionally vibrant

and scrupulously discerning, drawing as

it does so on a wellspring of stimulating

sexuality and emotional feelings that

uniquely and colourfully establish

their own hegemony to the utter

delight of those fortunate

enough to draw on

this experience.

Superlative attributes that you evidently and

in abundance charmingly embody my

Lady; although in itself saying that

is undoubtedly a significant

understatement to make.
