only blooms
Thomas W Case said:
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.

I like how the Light left behind is a part of the Person that has gone.
A fine Poem here.

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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

cost of love
Tristan Robert Lange said:
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. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The play on words with batteries is most clever. Darkness and the light of torches plays off dualism as does nurture and torture another word play against torch. Nicely done Cryptic. You know I love word play.

My friend, this is chillingly perceptive. Nothing is violently seized, yet human agency gradually passes to a technological elite claiming exclusive access to systems the wider public cannot examine…disturbingly close to where we are heading. Brilliant work, arqios. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
