Adultery The Ashram: The Desire for the Sacred Angels

"In the stillness that followed, with their bodies interwind. there was only them, together, in the quiet aftermath of the storm." - The last line of "The Nine Nights"

In fact, my mind remains gently sandwiched between them—lingering far too long—waiting for you to draw me back from the hush of their private intimacy and let the story breathe again.

Hi Kavyaraja

 
Thank you so much for this beautifully articulated feedback. I’m genuinely grateful for how closely and attentively you engaged with that final line, and for how vividly you described your experience as a reader.
 
Knowing that the moments from the “Nine Nights” story held you there, even a little longer than expected, tells me that the connection came through strongly. It is still my bad, I have to get back to that story, and I will get to it soon.
 
At the same time, I truly appreciate your focus and insight about my stories. Here are very few readers that read the stories at that depth and understanding. I truly appreciate your comments and messages.  
 
Your words have given me a lot to reflect on, especially around how and when to transition the reader out of an intimate moment without breaking its spell. Thank you for sitting with the ending so thoughtfully, and for sharing such a precise and evocative reaction, feedback like this is incredibly valuable to me as a writer.

Your encouragement truly means more to me than I can easily put into words, and it’s deeply motivating to know that I have such an intellectual readers, that actually value the poetry. 
 
With warm regards
