Touch Therapy - 1

As sanskrit simmers upon the splintered mind of savaged souls the evolution of emotion eloquently enters the environ of your vulnerable virtue, entreating the crying heat of your heart to hasten no more towards the shadow of shame, Her Shadow sang the sorrow of a suppressed sweetness, a love forbidden in the phobia of the world's dervishing dystopia, sanctuary was not in her heart, it belonged in her heated nerves the expressway of uncompromised courage, Her Shadow knows how her skin sweats when the Damned dismiss her love, Shadow knows how her eyes sting from anything mean to her sincerity, her Shadow holds her tears in hands of ivory, fantasizes that rage is beauty... J.A.B. 2023

This is absolutely breathtaking. “The evolution of emotion eloquently enters the environ of your vulnerable virtue” really struck me. The imagery of “her Shadow holds her tears in hands of ivory” is so powerful and tender. You captured sorrow, resilience, and beauty so flawlessly. Truly moving, every line lingers long after reading. I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

Thanks for your heartfelt excitement Billie. Do our emotions dictate our thoughts, or do our thoughts determine our emotions...sometimes I wonder how that dynamic unfolds. I'm happy to linger on your inquisitive heartbeats...J.A.B.

This reads like a prayer for every woman who's ever felt too much. You’ve captured the ache of being misunderstood--the way emotion simmers just beneath skin and bone. I felt her shadow. Her sorrow. Her rage reimagined as beauty. Your words hold so much depth… they don’t just speak--they listen. Thank you for writing her with tenderness, and for showing how powerful soft things can be.

I love how the words dance between vulnerability and strength, Justin. It inspires one to transform rage into into beauty, and sweat and tears into an act of resilience and courage. There’s a quiet power in being unapologetically real despite a dismissive often cruel world. Always, Laura
