What a beautiful piece, my friend. You capture that sacred stillness before daybreak, when the heavens feel privately shared and even departure carries grace. Quiet, intimate, and deeply moving. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

There’s a damn quiet intimacy in this, with the two stars becoming a private little world shared by “you, and me.” I especially like how they don’t fight the sunrise—they simply exist for their brief moment and then surrender the sky, which gives the poem a graceful sense of impermanence.

I bow to your poetic grace my friend. Your word choice is magnificent as is your imagery but best of all is your pulling of the threads to join all into a well sewn piece.

I love that almost imperceptible transition from dark to light in the mornings, then the reverse in the evenings. Great write.

This is wonderfully written. I read it twice to get a better feel for how time passed. However, there\'s a flicker there that still flutters. Thank you for sharing.

A fine, erm, Spanish titled poem there A. lol.
As I said, I\'m no good at languages. Fido knows 3,467 languages, but he doesn\'t brag about it, e.g. He says \'Le woof\". Oh it\'s nutty! lol.

What a beautiful piece, my friend. The ordinary becomes cosmic, every stranger contains an unseen universe, and the entire world quietly remakes itself overnight. I absolutely loved this, Rik. A fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Pleasantly comfortable the warmth of its serenity woven in surreal cloth felt good against the skin and its tune was pleasant to the ear. I loved this one Cryptic it was fanciful but real in some esoteric way. A fave my good friend

What a wonderfully biting piece, arqios! The supposed budget cuts that somehow enlarge the public’s burden pair perfectly with the hypochondriac enlarging every minor symptom into catastrophe. Both targets thrive on exaggeration, and your wordplay punctures them beautifully. Excellent satire, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Luckilly for us in Britain, we\'ve got Andy looking after us.
He\'s saving money by replacing the British people with migrants.
Something tells me he\'s not going to last.

As for the tax collector he can catch the plague as far as I am concerned and the histrionic well I have known many and feel for their plight for I never get sick, just days that I don\'t feel well. Good one Cryptic

What a beautifully melancholic piece, arqios. The man searches memory for the vitality he once carried, but every glimpse of that younger self vanishes before reunion becomes possible. The shifting fire and water imagery makes the loss feel alive throughout. Excellent write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

A fine Poem on the subject of Lost Youth.
One minute we are smooth skinned and in Pristine condition. The next : A 10 by 4 of Dorian Gray.

Pensive and reflective this poem speaks to me of a youth spent and memories left, a hot iron that has cooled but been tempered with the heat. Well written my friend.

What a beautifully wistful piece, my friend. Nothing essential has disappeared, yet abandonment has weakened every means of reaching it. The longing here feels creative, relational, and spiritual all at once. Excellent write, Rik. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
