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.
Oh yes! I think of chaos theory whenever I think of butterflies. It's so bizarre, something so delicate having so much power, especially an indigo butterfly!
Hugs to you. That's not easy. And thank you so much! Funnily, I first heard the cover, then the original. The original is of course the best. And it doesn't sound olden, but timeless and timely!
I really like this poem. The way you built up the creeping and growing separation 🤌🏼 and staying in tune with the water imagery and things related to water/tides. I love tight knit poetry like this. Like a perfectly rolled little j that gets the mind that perfect amount of buzz. Bravo 👏
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”)
Read this again and I hope it’s published somewhere well you can put it in your book. It is spectacular. I couldn’t stop thinking about it! Please please more poems! You are wonderful!
Lovely unexpected poem! Thank you! Like what you had to say after too!
Thank you so much, Jennifer! <3

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 yes, the pining! You two are such a lovely, loving couple. Life finds a way!
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...

Thank you, Lola! I was hoping you might like :).
Wow, this is a wonderful poem. You now have a wonderful state, over which a lot of work must have been done, this is inspiring! Very happy for you!
Thank you so much, Ted! I appreciate your kindness.
It takes a long time to accept oneself. And it’s a beautiful thing when it happens.
Yes, indeed. What an appeasing feeling when you get there.

Oh wow. Thanks so much, Jon! What a lovely comment.

shifting to the darker side."

Thank you so much!
Your magnificent line …”a conch shell remains
with a siren song in her place….”

I appreciate you so much! Celan's lines are vibrant. Wow. Thank you for sharing!

YOU are wonderful. It was published in a publication that shuttered. I decided to publish it here! Maybe maybe in a book someday, who knows!
That is a most excellent situation Nadia! I’m really glad we met!!! :).
Me too. *CRIES*
