An indigo butterfly! What an amazing image. Butterflies always make me think of ripple effects and indigo rich comfort. The two together are something entirely new.

I feel like I've experienced unrequited love a few times for sure. Nothing more painful than that awful pining. Glad to be loved now.

oh my yes to unrequited love - lovely poem, Nadia - was not familiar with the song, that must be one of the earlier music videos ever...

It takes a long time to accept oneself. And it’s a beautiful thing when it happens.

Your magnificent line …”a conch shell remains

with a siren song in her place….”

Freaking magnificent. Reminds me of a line by Celan….“we sleep like wine in the conches/ like the sea in the moon’s blood ray….” I prefer yours! (Paul Celan “Corona”)
