    • Your poem puts me in the mood of sailing and travel, the image of a sailor who is watching and expressing the scenes, keeping it in his head because soon it will only be a memory. There is sadness going along all the lines. Emotionally written.

      • Thank you so much Light for your heartfelt reflections on my poem. Your impressions of my words here are deeply appreciated. Love your interpretation of the mood within my words. Indeed there is a depth of understanding in your thoughts and the feelings my poem inspired for you that really feels right. Deep gratitude.

    • So Lugh watched her bathing, and Bridgette thought it was ok to gaze upon her. That is nice. Then, when they took the boat ride and died together, (aww) At the end, they decided where to be reincarnated, wrapped it up nicely, and the fact that they said the Emerald Isles, I smiled at that.

      • Love your observations on my story my friend. Much appreciated. Yes this was a kind of romance through the centuries. Glad the ending made you smile. Thank you so much.

    • 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.

        John

    • 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.

        John
