You were real before I knew you.  You are still a dream now.

Thank you, I think you and the other lovelies here "get it" :)

"when a screen name speaks true-er than my physicality"
"i'm realest in the 'lapse'; as an abstract"

these two lines are relatable and speak a thousand times over in my mind. you're a great poet and I still await to buy the book...i'm just wondering what the titles going to be?

i'd like to start another wave of collaborations with people, and you ma'am would be first on my list. throw me a message,idea or an thought and lets build; break down these walls that box us to a frenzy.

well penned.

Dude I appreciate it more than you know. Thank you :)

I'll think about it today, we really should collab more! Your latest pieces have been really dope.

let me add this to my reading list so that I can fully digest it i'll come back with a complete response

Extremely relatable...

This is such a truth, one day maybe for us all.

Bravisima Atomik! You are indeed "capable of a firm sermon." The last passage is an important one. That is precisely why I am not seen in my profile pic. Although it is fascinating how many times I am mistaken for a female poet. I believe you have an intelligent look about you but I understand this environment well and, therefore, I understand your plight.

( your ) Voice is all I care about and until I actually hear it, I hear a version of it based on something that vibrates through with your words. It might not be anything like your actual voice, but it still complements your poetry nicely.

For the longest time, I imagined Ahavati sounded somewhat like Minnie Mouse. Boy, was I way off LOL.

And those of us who write from female perspectives get it.

So relate, I think many people see me on the surface and have no idea what depths lie within. It’s rare that I share my poetry with people in my life, but there is also poetry that I don’t post that is only for those who do ‘get me.’ The pen can really speak volumes, and yours certainly does!

Yeah....what  they all said + 'sweet'

And it's written in black and white too.
Love it, Michaela.

To be finally perceived indeed...

You look like another human being to me.
