That line — “twisting my words does not make you right”…stopped me cold. A-freaking-men! The clarity and steel in that truth makes the whole piece burn bright. Beautifully cut, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Never understood gaslighting a new word for what I call manipulation and forcing a view of the world that suits the manipulator, someone not interested in the view of the other set upon their own needs in a world of their own. The actions spoken so familiar where two people don\'t listen to the needs of the other and hide their needs behind false walls. Nicely written Cryptic

Such an amazing fantasy, a treat for the senses. I would love to see this in book form, with incredible illustrations of your remarkable imagination. Perfection!

sorenbarrett said:
A poem of childlike gustatory delight in an air fight. Behind the childlike imagery is deeper meaning in metaphor that speaks of the delights of confrontation and even battle while casting it in a relatively harmless ending of live to fight another day. Very nicely done Cryptic

a poem is a verb

Two quotes :
--\"All I am is literature, and I am not able or willing to be anything else.\" -- Franz Kafka (1883-1924)
--“Literature is the most noble of professions. In fact, it is about the only one fit for a man. For my own part, there is no seducing me from the path.” -- Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849)

Soman Ragavan said:
For the poet, poetry is everything. He dedicates his life to poetry. He plods at it till the end. It is the one vocation that consumes up the one who pursues it. However, the poet’s labours are not lost. They will be appreciated more after he is gone.

Help! We\'re thousands of days old, if we sat down and worked out how many days old we are. Only take just under 3 years for 1,000 days!

Beautifully written, Rik. You’ve captured the grace of walking through time without counting, yet being counted...woven into the Story itself. Profound work, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

It’s less about counting days than letting days leave their mark, bead by bead, along a cord you can almost feel in your hand. Think of it as a window into a living conversation, one that began long before us and will keep going long after, rendered in language that feels both weathered and luminous.

3. Affirmation First
Beautifully crafted, my friend. You captured poetry not as product but as force…a verb with blood in it. That distinction is true and profound. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Well Said. It strange how the germ of an Idea can grow over the Hours into a Poem.
Builders must have some Satisfaction seeing a Completed Ship or Home.

Beautifully visceral and kinetic. This isn’t just written — it moves, and in doing so, it moves others. That’s the heartbeat of the poem. Well done. 👍

Anything even slightly cryptic is a fog to me. Fido suggests trying to get the hidden meanings. \'I\'ll only get it wrong\' I reply to him. He\'s not gonna tell me EVERY hidden meaning, though of course he knows 99% of everything! lol.

This is haunting…gate-light, wounds, fog folding a name. It feels like standing right at the edge of departure. Beautifully wrought, my dear friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Cryptic you have selected your pen name well your writings are growing deeper and deeper taking the mind into its shadows and shade where emotions have been left disregarded and forgotten. Word prompts uncover them. Nicely done

These gated folds attempts to catch that fragile hour before movement; when breath hangs, words hover, and the path is felt more than seen. A moment suspended, waiting to decide which way the fog will part.
