I hope that every one can choose not ignore, but move through fear when love is on the line.

This poem beautifully captures the complexity and vulnerability of love. It reminds us to embrace the unknown, trust our instincts, and not let fear hold us back from experiencing the magic of love. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt piece!

Great poem, Tangled! And elegantly showcased by Odel, with simple reverence.

Avoidant personalities have always confounded me, so I'd love to give this poem's advice to those affected in such a manner. But it's hard for anyone to take anything from me. Instinct cuts deep — and severely circumscribes our abilities to live, unless we learn to embrace the "in between." This is where the truly authentic experiences are to be had.

She's like this in real life too! Don't get on her bad side, or she'll make you a character in a boy-band fanfic! Seriously, she's a superlative poet, far more adept at unearthing and articulating heart-wrenching emotions than I am, with real depth and gravitas, and a kind, funny soul. I'm happy to call her a friend. You're picking another top talent, Osel, with Asuka and now TW! Great poem

You're going to make me cry. This comment has made my day. I'd retract your role in the fan fic, but I already started writing it.🤣

Odel Asseille's avatar

😁 thank you for the advice.

I couldn’t agree more, Mike. She’s really a top talent. Kind, funny. That is our 4rth collab, if I don’t get it wrong. I really enjoy working with you guys. You’re just amazing (Including you)

☺️
