    • I like how you blend Mayan and African in this. The gods would never be as severally punished as a human would. Then she found or they found someone for her. To make her behave. I like it.

      • Love your thoughts on my story my friend. Indeed the human woman seems to be the most punished. Very glad you enjoyed how I put African and Mayan cultures together in my story. Yes indeed she was made to behave. Thank you so much for reading my friend.

    • Deep gratitude. I very much appreciate your reflections on my story. Love your impressions on my story. Really means so much to me. Great thanks.

      John

    • This is such a truly mesmerizing story. I was captivated from the very first line. You weave a vivid, beautiful tale of myth, transformation, and empowerment.

      Tayanna’s journey from mortal victim to spiritually and physically reborn heroine is stunning, and I love the playful ending where she cleverly draws her distracted partner back to their love and intimacy. A brilliant blend of legend, heart, and agency.

      • Your words here are true to my story, Romaj. Your review is so excellently written and so perceptive as you followed the story’s threads with amazing insight. I thank you from my heart for your keen understanding of the underlying themes held within my tale. Your comment clearly reflects your in depth reading of this tale and I am truly grateful to you.

        John

    • This, to me, is a story of trials and the wisdom that is gained from them for Tayanna. It’s also about second chances and forgiveness. The potion itself seems a lock and key. Well done, John.

      • Thank you so much Tim. I love your keen observations here. You really have a great mind that sees into the heart of the themes of my stories. I am forever grateful to you for really delving deep into the meaning of my tale. And very grateful for your behind the scenes advice on revisions that made the story so much clearer and better. Most grateful.

        John

    • Marvelous piece here John. You have the gift of telling a story and keeping us intrigued from start to finish. A story I would love to see converted to film. Bravo!

      • Deep gratitude my friend for your reading of my story. Your words on my prose are taken to heart. Much appreciated especially your thoughts on how this could make a good film. Thank you so much.

    Tormented

    A sliver of light through the blinds.  You slept with legs parted, a hand on your own hip.Your tights were merciless,cloth stretched so tightI could see the shape of you.Lips pressing forward,  the seam between your thighs,  a shadow...

    The Great Deceiver

    Fueled by a consuming rage Pointed at every situation  As I fall into the final stage Right before the initiation Locked inside self-torment  Wiggling out of the noose Keeping all the spirits dormant Until madness is busting loose   Pressure building within me Anger clouding all that I see   Face...

    • Oh yeah, this one definitely needs a place on the album! I hope it’s coming along well! The halls are a bit echo-ey without you wandering them as often, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. It’s going, though it took a while to get my “Logic Pro” software. Which allows me to mix better and I can even master my music with it. But, I got a song mapped out structurally, I have lyrics for everything but the bridge. Which I just came up with that bridge tonight. Gotta record vocals, and backing vocals next. Hopefully, I’ll be letting you hear it soon. I miss you too, my friend. You’ve been penning some excellent work my friend. Thanks for your continued support, it means a lot to me. Appreciate you.

    • I get the sense of internal conflict, and the rhythm and urgency make it clear these are lyrics meant to be performed.

      The energy builds perfectly toward the chorus: “Face to face with destiny…” I especially like the line “Loyal to the art of betrayal” – it’s a great, concise piece of wordplay.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Roma. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I love that line as well. Appreciate you.

        Damian

    • More great lyrics, Damian. Very heavy stuff. I hope to hear the music someday.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. When I get some songs finished, I’ll let you check them out. Appreciate you.

    Face The Storm Pass

    Rest now… and let the storm pass. Imagine a bedcover hovering over youand it peacefully covers the coming storm. Rain patters the blanketand you feel it become damp,yet you're shielded from another storm.   Rest now… and uncover yourself. Imagine what...

    • Poets bare their natures. Right now mine is stormy with anger.
      I don’t want to hide under the blanket.
      Like you say….too much going on and the blanket is too damp to ignore.
      I relate to your poetry, Daniel.

    The Secret To Writing

    Hating writing? But having felt great about writing? What is the secret? You just have to bleed into the page, no matter if it’s good or not good enough! Write like the ice rain in winter… tapping the window panes hard...

    • “Tap the window panes hard”–yes, it seems the only way to get one to notice poetry. Not the favorite genre of so many…
      They seem not to want to work a little to find something of value in the words.
      I really like this…Daniel.

    • Yes, the secret to writing is simply to do it.
