Tristan Robert Lange said:
What a compelling miniature, arqios. The figure moves forward untouched while reputation gathers and transforms behind him...leaving us to wonder where the person ends and the legend begins. Wonderful work, my friend. 👣📜🌒🖤🙏

A brief view of how a legend is formed. Nicely stated from word to myth, fables and legends are formed. Well done my friend

A brilliant piece that reveals how even the smallest draft can leave one open to doors one thought were well sealed, and be open to losing your grip

My friend, this is strange, restless, and wonderfully atmospheric. The warped details carry us through a city shaped by sleeplessness…then that mysterious opening quietly turns unease into anticipation. One heck of a poem, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem, \"Middle of the Night,\" revolves around the theme of solitude and introspection in an urban environment. Yet the poet grapples with feelings of disconnection and nostalgia while wandering through a city at night, reflecting on past decisions and the passage of time.

And as is night so is life. Not always approved receipts of the future held in one\'s pocket (love the neologism). Who is this threatening invitation but a future one must guard against but be open for. Lovely my friend a surreal encounter and a fave

Arqios, what a beautiful and deeply peaceful poem! This feels like permission to simply exist without earning the right through productivity. Absolutely loved this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There is something magnificent about this poetic write that seems to stand between rhyme and free style with dignity and grace of nature and tell it as it is. Nature itself is so poetic. A fave my friend

Also \"undone again by what I cannot hold\" and \"stirrer of ash in the hearth we left cold\" is brilliant.

Rik, what a deeply moving poem. This carries the quiet devastation of grief returning without warning...soft in its arrival, but absolute in its power. Beautiful work, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Death has reawoken, the secret deeply hidden revealed.
Strange how one word, one comment, picture is enough to bring back something we tried our best to bury deep.

A fine write. Just when you think the Doors and Windows locked fast: That draught somehow gets in. It\'s like Poe\'s Beating Heart under the Floorboards.

I have experience and fears of holding a pane of glass for fingers grow tired and slippery and it takes little for it to slip through them. That mirror that reflects oneself slipping through one\'s fingers. I read Thomas\' comment and believe he is right about that draft that comes through the crack under the door. Its disturbance of the marrow distracts and brings back that ash left cold reviving life and the smell of it and the mirror drops. A fave my friend

A quiet, beautiful piece about how even the smallest message can break open the doors we thought were sealed shut.
The images of ash, rain, and slipping glass carry the ache of memory returning when the heart is still learning how to hold on.
