Content in knowing you are your biggest fan and are all the support anyone will ever need. We fulfill the ability to love and support others when we really like the person we are. This is deep. Its inward looking but not boastful. It’s complicated and self soothing to remind us of life is precious, all of life. And one must take in as much as you can, until the last moment. I really like this and I see myself looking to it when I loose my way. Super and well written. You are a true lyrical artist.

We are never alone as long as we love ourselves. We can be worthy soulmates and love others thoroughly if we have self love. As you have written here, it’s ok to have doubt, just don’t stay there. Great write!

This hits deep. This truly makes me realize the TRUE value and meaning of life. What it really means to exist.
To not just pass on by, but to wake up and smell the roses. To see everything with detail. With purpose.
Absolutely beautiful. Wow.

Re. Self Soulmate
NG,
Your (multi) talent is very admirable, and welcomed here. This write is a prime example of it. Your skills, and determination, shine through with both your written words and your artwork.
I'm not one to break down someone's writes and highlight areas of appeal, very often. Usually I take them as a whole, and let their total twirl around my brain a bit. This latest write of yours is an example of that for me. It isn't sporadic awesome lines being held up by supporting lines around those. It's a solid, rewarding piece throughout.
Well written. And thought inducing.

I was fortunate to have realism painting instruction under Nelson Shanks before his passing. It was rewarding to learn how the masters painted for sure! But for me, it couldn’t be just an accurate painting to be successful, it had to reveal emotion. That was the difficult part. I’m still learning. I’m trying to achieve that with writing. Critique brings learning. Reading that you found this poem thought inducing is quite a valuable reply to me. Thank you

Re. Self Soulmate
I just wanted to say how deep this poem is, the self realizing reality juxtaposed with simple, yet invisible, occurrences. The manifestation of yourself equalling the manifestation for life. These thoughts are beautiful. I love this line "𝕌nfound sleep welcomes shrieks from feral cats stifling the knocks of unwanted thoughts entering as unannounced guests". The whole poem weaves in and out of this line as the poem weaves in and out of the mundane and the spiritual. This may be the most perfect line of any poem ever as it creates. Yes, you have chased existence and trapped in on the page. The poem creates it's own worth that doesn't require the valuation of others but still it is nice to be applauded for the chase. It is also a very feminine poem, there is nothing to conquer here but only to accept. It is not a rivalry, or something to overcome but the realization of what already exists.

Can I say in public forum that your comment almost made me cry? Happy tears of course. But it’s how I feel, so there you have it. Since my first read of your work, I’ve been in awe of your ability to create amazing scenes and stir emotions with your words. Telling me: “Yes, you have chased existence and trapped it on the page” is beyond rewarding to me. Thank you so very much, Ryzard.
