Like & Love

Once again wisdom in a poem. The last two lines hit me the hardest and made the poem good to great and a fave. We all see love differently some selfish for what it does to us others for what we can do for others.

Both, and Neither
arqios said:
This tender ode feels like a heartfelt conversation with the weather; an honest confession that we crave what both nourishes and wounds us. From the first stanza’s naming of the sun to the final image of “one hand burning, one hand wet,” it captures the tension of desiring two opposing forces at once. Reminds me of a personal vent poem written decades ago, about being both and neither. Superb relatability. 🕊️🙏🏻

Mottakeenur this poem took me from the start. Its images are spectacular and filled with metaphor. Poetic is the term for this poem anything else diminishes it. I simply love it and the flavor it gives of a wise man from a culture different than mine but with whom I feel a kindred spirit. Simply lovely and a fave

Oh, Valiant Brigade
arqios said:
Reading like a war hymn for the soul; stirring, defiant, and thunder-charged with purpose. It casts its subjects as elemental beings: forged in storms, lit by wildfire, unstoppable as dawn. The imagery is mythic yet personal, turning abstract virtues (truth, courage, perseverance) into sharpened steel and flame. In four escalating stanzas, it summons a call to rise, to burn, to claim destiny not with passivity but with bold, unyielding motion. The final line doesn’t just crown the brigade, it hands them the cosmos.

arqios said:
Your noble poem is a rallying cry to inner strength and self-reliance. It urges our steadfastness in the face of darkness, reminding us that even when all else fades, our inner fire can still burn bright. Let go of what’s lost, rise unshackled, and let your spirit become its own source of light. True power, it suggests, isn’t borrowed but it’s birthed from within. 🕊️🙏🏻
