Rik, this lands with a calm sort of inevitability… the moment the line breaks open feels like the whole thing exhales. Well done, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Another marvelous work my friend that flows like water and leaks out of its dam. Loved it so clear in its metaphor that continued to grow with each tributary until it formed a lake of thought. Simply lovely and another fave

A fine write A. I seem to find time to write my rubbish poems of KP, etc. Do they take long to write? Nope! Do they require any brain-power? Shouldn\'t think so! lol.

my only hymn
FrasMac said:
Ooft! That\'s a deep one, yet not so unfathomable as to be difficult to understand. You\'ve caught the desperate yearnings of the heart so very well. So much to admire in your writing!

my only hymn
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios, this is a slow descent through grief’s waterline…salt, spear, keel cracking, swallowed silence. It’s visceral, lyrical, and heartbreakingly grounded. Truly remarkable work and a fave, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

my only hymn
sorenbarrett said:
On seas of fortune where sirens entice and deceive the depths of dark tears are the only solace one receives. Dark and murky the words of this poem that sings not a hymn but a dirge or requiem. Lacrimosa how sweet your shadows. A most lovely write my friend and a fave

In my long life I have found that you should never go back Rik it can be disappointing so always go forwards.

You form depths of feeling and mood which I can visualise and know, then extract whole and complete.
Rare creation. Thanks Rik.

A fine write A. Reminds me of part of a hymn, that goes something like: ...... \'so clearer light shall mark the road, That leads us to the Lamb [of God]\'

Arqios, this whole piece moves with quiet wisdom…loss, realism, soft-hearted longing, and that final flame you keep not to return but to see forward. It’s tender and grounded at the same time. Stunning work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I have someone I know that always says never go backward only forward. He will walk an extra mile or more so as not to go back the way he came. A wonderful poem Cryptic so full of little wordings that raise past memories and make it nostalgic in some way. Loved it

NOOOOOOOO I THOUGHT I ESCAPED THE BRAINROT
in all seriousness, its amazing how you turned the constant haunting chant into a beautiful poem about time. Mind you, I have a teacher who banned saying these two numbers in class.
unnecessary censorship in a CALCULUS THREE class about numbers...

Now I find this poem reaches into my lungsand produces a gasp, almost like Ted Hughes\' \"Thought Fox\" did the first time I read it. Super writing, thank you!

My friend, this moves with such reverence…ink as breath, pauses as doorways, a poem slipping into the chest instead of announcing itself. You wrote the inner life of creation with real grace. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this whole piece moves with such controlled intimacy...the weight, the slow descent, the breath of the bottle, the warm cork in hand. You turned a simple act into a quiet revelation. Loved this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Poetic thoughts put to ink. I find may a poem breaks in through a closed window or door forgotten unlocked to find it sitting on my bed or in my shower. Startling me out of what would be a quiet day and ordering me to the laptop. Seldom do they come whole but in handicapped form, some without feet, body or heart. A wonderful write my friend.

A fine write A. it\'s my saying again \'I never knew there was so much to (x), but I know now!\' and in this case \'x\' being \'writing a poem!\' Glad you rustled those pages and got your quill out to write. Quill? Well, I am millions of years old, with Goldfinch too, so I say. heehee. He won\'t be insulted by saying we\'re both very old.

It may start with the corkscrew, but that\'s only the beginning of the sensual journey the couple hopefully take.
Now, is it red or white.
