Sol invictus the sun god of our ancestors Ra Frasier\'s golden bough to which we bow where as Muslim to the east disguised in Mohamud\'s tomb and Meca or the Mason\'s four directions. Nature itself bows to the east awaiting the sun\'s raise. Clever title daze as in days Well done my friend.

Arqios, this is absolutely mesmerizing. Creativity becomes something immense and almost unbearable here…a universe demanding release through the fragile limits of the human mind. Brilliant work, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

If the Aspirins don\'t work on a Headache, I have a Pistol on standby.🤕 Unusual to compare a Headache to the Universe. But the Brain as this vast System of Stars and Galaxies. I can see your point. Well Written Poem.
Also when Typing the word Poem, does anyone keep typing Piem all the time. Drives me Mad . Now where\'s that Pistol?.

A headache becomes a universe here, pain transformed into something strangely beautiful.
The poet’s curse and gift collide—too many stars burning inside one small human skull.

Cryptic I imagined the nervous system as the cosmos as I read this, neurons, dendrites, synapses, chemical interactions, receptor sites, neurotransmitters, positive negative charges, sodium potassium pump all firing in synchrony a cosmos a universe within the brain. Nicely done Cryptic

3️⃣ My friend, this speaks directly to something I consider when building collections. A familiar cadence may serve individual poems beautifully, yet a full body of work needs contrast, surprise, and room to move. Loved this, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Wow, my friend...this is one hell of a metaphor! Poets become a collective of trembling truth-bearers whose words seek to pierce indifference and reach what people keep protected. Beautiful, intelligent, and deeply resonant. Brilliant work, arqios! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Once again my friend you have brought complexity to simplicity and metaphorically set the place at the feast\'s table. Poetry one course and how boring if everyone brings a cake sweet and chocolaty iced with love\'s sweet syrup. How much better a variety of bitter and sweet, sour and salty. Not with artificial sweeteners but the real sugar from the cane. And even then when full a pause to let all digest with pleasant conversation before sitting for another course, a cigar for some a nightcap for others maybe an after dinner mint. Another fav my friend thank you for the meal

Feels like a man learning his words can wound, and choosing where to aim anyway.
There’s grit in that restraint—like holding the bow when the shot would be easy.

This work moves me my friend. So well worded and paced it sends its message well and so clever in its metaphor and even word play with the word quiver as a homophone. The image is retained through the full poem moving from quill to arrow to word on a page. Nicely done and a fave

A brilliant poem reflecting time and and the inevitable. Written as a machine that breaks and crumblrs. Time is the only commodity we don\'t get back. Great read.
