    • 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.

    Rain

     we have yesterday's rain today, far more than casually unstill! - a near eternal transparent, cotton-thickweave of space falling fastfrom a gluttinous heaven -surrendering, splattering, splayingthe all around with a raw pour ofalmost too willing surrender. .. .. .. a petty pause snatches six...

    • Hoi hoi Chère E.,
      Being Dutch, I love the rain when it pours into the North Sea. I admit you’ve won me over.
      Your lovely write softens my heart and the more than lovely artwork does the rest.
      Please, keep them coming!
      Kind regards, Gus

    • Sir, as Autumn sheds its leaves, metallic golds an’ brass will live their last before collection, storage in bins, bags or covered heaps. Here an’ there working their best in the dark but – preparing to light another season’s spirit and – soul-like soil! 🙂

    • I used to love to play out in the rain when I was a child. I must still be, because I still love rain and will walk very slowly through it when I go to my car from my house or vice-versa.
      Is it God crying? I doubt it…He is probably dousing us with it to cleanse our hearts and souls.
      Nice write, em.

    • Brought me memories of the sound of rain on a tin roof at our old house, and the smell of petrichor. A wonderful write! “)

    • Many, many thank yous, M.E! Enjoy your happiness.

    • I can see this being read at a podium. I feel the convictions in your words.

    • I hate what is happening with the Epstein case and the lack of respect for the victims…and all the covering up and protecting of those who committed such evil deeds.
      There is no conscience, no conscience. Cold, rich people.

      • What’s happening with the Epstein case is literally showing us that we have no power to fight back…according to them. They silence or eliminate what threatens them. Which – honestly – showcases their fragility perfectly. I’m over here screaming my head off about my truth & healing despite them. They can’t stop me. Cowardly monsters. Thank you

    • Powerful and poignant. Fantastic.

    • The world is strange these days. I don’t understand some of these people, but honestly it’s a good thing. It means I haven’t sold my values.

      I trust one day we will have our strength shown again.

      Great ink friend.

      • I agree. Not understanding them comforts me. I’ll keep my vulnerability & integrity intact & I’m just fine not understanding how their twisted minds work.

        I read something the other day that gave me a moment of peace & hope. Loosely translated it said…light has the power to illuminate in darkness, but dark cannot look into light, it cannot bear it’s glow. I find that very calming. I’ll just keep my little fire burning & let them cower in their dark minds. Thank you, my friend

    • Powerfully penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Excellent work my friend, you always bring it. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • I have so much going on in my mind on any given day, I have to clear headspace. They don’t always go where I expect them to land. This one started in a dark moment. But I found myself rebelling internally as I wrote & the tone changed. Together is always stronger. Thank you, my friend

    • Sometimes the question we ask ourself is are we damaged or is the world damage. We love the piece Lady, tight

      • I don’t think any single person who encounters another human being isn’t walking wounded. We all walk around bleeding and causing each other further damage. I believe you might be on to something there. Maybe the world is damage. Disheartening that the biggest common denominator amongst us is pain…
