Something \'deeper\'? How will my 3 brain cells comprehend that?! lol. Fido will know of course - he has 300 billion brain cells.

To me this comes across as learning from our mistakes, otherwise the effort we put into making those mistakes is wasted, I know that is probably not it, but that\'s what I see. Nicely crafted and a lovely gentle read, enjoyed

I loved the poem but particularly the last line. But come on Cryptic you know as an old man my eyes aren\'t what they used to be and the size of the print on this one pushed me to the limit.

This piece invites you into a quiet reckoning; where flight meets reflection, and the sky becomes more than backdrop- “a former dream” doesn’t ask for answers, but offers something deeper: the shimmer of insight after descent.
Read it slowly. Let it settle. Then share—what do we carry after the fall?

Rik, this holds such quiet power…like a steady hand over deep waters. The restraint makes the depth all the more felt…each line a galaxy in itself (which I love). By the way, my friend, I’ve been meaning to ask—do you create your own artwork for these? If so, you’re an incredible artist beyond the poetry…if not, you’ve still got an impeccable eye, for you are a great artist regardless! Well done here on all accounts. A fave. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

May this poem turn our gaze inward, revealing the fierce turbulence that can lurk beneath a composed exterior. It asks what remains unuttered by choice rather than neglect, and how silence can contain entire universes of feeling. Step into its quiet depths and discover the hidden galaxies of the heart—no spoilers, just an invitation to listen.

A short write that contains instead of a tempest in a teacup the eye of the hurricane where calm pervades. Nicely written

This resonates with me. I Knew the pieces fit and watched them fall away. Nicely done.

Arqios, this is like tracing the constellations of our little poetic cosmos...each line a bridge across the digital sea. I love how you root the virtual in something organic, letting “gum blossom” (as opposed to Gin Blossoms...sorry, couldn\'t reisist 🤣) and “quiet soil” breathe between the screens. You’ve caught that rare electricity of connection without ever losing the humanity in it. Beautifully done, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

a poetic lullaby
Tristan Robert Lange said:
Rik, this is gorgeous in its honesty. You’ve caught that restless space between admiration and creation—the chase for a line that lands like lightning. The wind, the waltz, the envy…all woven into something that’s entirely yours, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I sense the process of writing, which seems as I am learning there are many ways, for some a difficult and sometimes long process. Myself I literally just sit down and write what\'s in my head, that\'s it for me no alterations as it is. Other\'s spend alot of time and thought and adjusting to get to something they are happy with, horses for courses I guess. Lovely and enjoyable read

Good write, arqios. Great illustration. I am never quite sure, though I try, if every word earned its way into a poem.

a poetic lullaby
arqios said:
A midnight desk, a restless pen, and the ache of chasing brilliance that always seems just out of reach. In this intimate, self‑aware lullaby, the speaker wrestles with envy, artistry, and the fragile hope that tomorrow’s line will finally sing. It’s a quiet confession for anyone who’s ever loved the craft enough to lose sleep over it.

The birth of a poem can be a difficult process its inception a seductive process where and orgasm of thought plants seeds that germinate in the womb, some prematurely aborted. The growing fetus develops and is often birthed in travail. A process where the poet mother guards her offspring against attack and proudly displays it in public despite how ugly it may be always loved by its mother. Sorry for the ramble Cryptic your poem just brought this to mind. I identify with the process even though mine is a bit different it is similar enough.
