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.

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.

As I read I think of a magical device, locked away in the castle attic, and shown only to the very priveledged. A wonderful fairytale quality, beautifully written!

Arqios, this is mesmerizing…the fusion of gears, vines, and suns feels alive, mechanical and organic at once. A stunning vision. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Step aside Stanley Kubrick! LOL! Sorry, the title \"forced\" me to do that! 🤣😜

Come and linger in its glass corridors longer than expected. Let the air feel warm, saturated with the beat of hidden workings. Every orange ( each small, perfect sun ) will seem both tended and trapped, drawing us into the quiet tension between nurture and control. Let\'s find ourselves tracing the same paths as the copper vines, following them toward that final slip, the moment when the pattern falters and something whole drifts away. It’s a poem that will still tick faintly in thoughts after eyes are shut, and ears hear the measured hiss of the pistons, seeing the light pooling in crystalline petals. It isn’t loud about its revelations, but the after‑image could leave bright enough impressions to carry into other rooms.

This poem feels surreal, industrial, mechanical, post classic, metaphorical (And in the beginning God.......) A Newtonian world in orange turned to Apple maybe Microsoft Loved the movie Clockwork orange and somehow this poem takes me there.
