Comments received on poems by arqios
mother, mother (2026)
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Arqios…this is one of those poems that sneaks up on the heart quietly. No dramatic moment…just tenderness accumulating line by line until suddenly the weight of time, gratitude, aging, and love are all sitting there together in the room. And that final image of letting the moment stretch between you…absolutely lovely. Powerful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Feels like love in its most unshowy form—care passed quietly from hand to hand without needing to be named.
There’s a deep tenderness in it, like gratitude finally learning how to sit still beside memory.

I really like this. I liked the shakespearian reference but of nature. Beautifully written.

My friend, this is deeply immersive writing. The neon reflections, the slow exhale of the city, the almost-morning atmosphere…all of it creates this beautiful sense of transition without rupture. I especially loved the closing thought that the night is not ending, only changing shape. That feels true far beyond the poem itself. Excellent work, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

\"A confession, or a fevered plea, \" neither worked for me! Grace sure does take its time (still waiting?!), yet It knows exactly when to make an entrance....Ｉguess. Great write, Arqios.

Dis-ease with a hyphen. A blazer for armor. A metric instead of a miracle. You\'re not asking to be fixed. You\'re asking to be measured honestly. Got it. Clearly written.

My friend, this really hit me hard. There’s such exhaustion and restraint woven through this...like someone carrying the weight of being misread for far too long. The ending especially lands with quiet force. Powerful piece, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

arqios, this is quietly devastating…calm on the surface, but carrying enormous weight underneath. “Descent is coming / but does not flinch” lands hard. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️
