You often hear of Someone who is Beautiful but Terrible to live with. You last lines are sadly true. Good Write.

Nicely written. Your poem captures the essence of love as both a beautiful and challenging experience, resonating with anyone who has navigated similar feelings.

Many look for physical beauty in searching for a mate this often comes with a price of living with a undeveloped inner self, egocentrism, pride, infantile qualities. The first thought that I had when reading the title was the price of admission when entering an art gallery or theater, a music festival, or museum. Beauty costs even in the effort of its owner to maintain it. Workouts, diet, with a car or house maintenance a yard or garden. Even a painting needs periodic cleaning and care. A poem itself needs periodic readings by someone or its beauty is lost. Nicely done Cryptic a strong message and warning to any that wish to possess beauty

Arqios, this really spoke to me. There is something quietly uplifting here...the sense of moving forward despite resistance. In just a few lines, you capture motion, determination, and perspective all at once. Beautiful piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The very brevity of this work bodes depth of meaning the forces involved air and wind imply the restlessness already mentioned. The tugging and leaning effect. Then there is the following of the shadow. This well could be social movement or individual change. A powerful write my friend

A man committed to his work - seeking no attention - letting his work speak for him - what a wonderful way of presenting how actions can speak louder than words, and advertisement is not always necessary.

Yet another poem of power, Arqios! Homely, yet the line with \"vastness\" transported me out into the cosmos.

My take on this : Loved ones who are no longer here, still remain because of their influence on our life\'s. It\'s strange how I say the same \'Sayings\' that my Mother or Father used to say.
A fave right there.

lovely written. your poem \"melded roads\" explores the enduring impact of relationships and memories of those who have passed away. It reflects on how the lessons and experiences of loved ones continue to influence the poet\'s life, emphasizing gratitude and the idea of continuation rather than burden.

Arqios, this really moved me. What struck me most is the gentleness of it. So many poems about those who have shaped us lean toward grief or obligation, but this feels rooted in gratitude. \"Not so much burden. / As continuation.\" especially stayed with me. There is something deeply comforting in the idea that the good we receive from others keeps moving forward through our own lives. Quiet, thoughtful, and beautifully written, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Once again Cryptic I venture a guess at how it struck me. To me what is being referred to is memories they stay with me in my decisions, in my work and through the day. \"What the years removed\", such a great way to refer to the past \"time keeps\" kept in memory. And what lingers but memories. The last lines work as well because what I choose to keep as memories are not the bad or burdens but the good that make a continuation. A lovely write my friend

A fine write A. So you found out the meaning of Carpe Diem - \'the day held long enough\'. Unlike me - by the time I found out, it was dark, and no day left to seize. Doh! lol.
