Nicely done. Your poem focuses on the tender moments shared, the emotional journey of overcoming shyness, and the transformative power of love. There is a sense of wonder and appreciation for the relationship depicted, emphasizing how these moments enrich life.

Cryptic your poetry often subtle requires multiple readings to catch the nuances in rhyme and meter that lead to deep feelings and buried emotions. They are masterful my friend and not nearly as appreciated as they deserve. This poem took three readings to watch the emotions grow and bloom. It indeed is wonderful. Another fave my friend

What a graceful little poem, my friend. There is mortality here, but also preservation…beauty fades, yet something essential remains in what was truly felt and received. Really lovely, Arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This feels like in the past, what once was but no more.
The love has gone, leaving only the fragrant scent.

There’s a damn delicate tension here between fading beauty and lasting authenticity—the wilted petals still carry their fragrance, even as immortality slips beyond reach. “These are only blooms / to smell and feel and see” gives it a humble little defiance, as if the poem refuses to pretend it needs to be anything more than something real.

I love this one metaphorically, the wording and meaning. It is gentle but yet so firm, in its lightness there is a heavy meaning. Nicely worded my friend and another fave

This is just brilliant. \" No pilgrim rests here. No stranger lingers. I am only a bridge. as if that is not enough. And the question \"what do you span\" is so on target. Nice. Very nice.

Well said. Your poem evokes a deep emotional response as the speaker grapples with the remnants of a past love and the memories that linger, symbolized by the natural imagery.

I know how certain places continue carrying those we have lost, my friend. We return, and somehow their absence is still waiting there for us. This deeply moved me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this is extraordinary. Grief, inheritance, mentorship, and human connection all meet within something painfully aware of its own fragility. Yet inadequacy never prevents it from fulfilling its sacred purpose…sometimes presence alone carries one soul toward another. Absolutely beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

My friend, this hit me hard. The collision of childhood innocence and violence is brutal...showing how betrayal at such an early age can distort the very meaning of affection. Painful, powerful, and deeply moving work, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
