Oh, my dear poet and friend…this felt like it was speaking through me, not just to me. 😔 That violet-in-the-crack line? Wow! That’s the truth of it. The echo that stays, the dialect of quiet grief—we know it well...or at least I do. Deeply moving work. Still sitting with this. 🌹👏 A must fave for me.

Oh this…this was exquisite, my friend. Just sumptuous in tone and cadence! You always know how to set a table—metaphorically and emotionally! That third stanza? Chef’s kiss. And the ending? Still lingering like a fine vintage… Love it, my friend! 🌹👏 A fave!

Any artist in any field would relate to this, as the mind is always ticking over, little seeds are down, some taking years to grow, enjoyed the read

By our words we are justified, and by our words we are condemned.
Doesn\'t really matter if anyone else is listening.

This is a hope filled poem.Perhaps the poet is not forgotten but has metamorphised into being a musician or lyricist. The basic roots of poetry are still there and growing.An excellent discussion. Enjoyed reading

A poem with a very nice metaphor (We who read beneath fluorescents still look out windows because of you.) also the whole last stanza works so well. The idea of being an echo or an underground root unseen yet growing. How many times have I seen ripple effects from written words sometimes noticeable and at others not. Very nicely written and a fave

Truly a feast for the pallate and the heart, captured in beautiful rhyming stanzas. I kept reading it aloud, and each time it became more endearing.

A brilliant remembrance of olden times when two hearts were one. The celebrational setting adds contrast to the longing desire of the narrator. Enjoyed this. - Phil A.

Such a style of a past era is carried by this poem. The first stanza caught my attention with the nice paring and rhyme of the last two lines. As in rhyme the story carries on one finds that the other is imaginary or at least just a memory. A definite fave

I like the harshness of this poem.It reflects reality as it is. There is beauty and brokenness. A wonderful expression of the human condition. Well written

It is contrast that makes for interest and catches the eye and ear. Achromatic music that catches the ear, a change in beat or rhythm, change in any form from chromatic to dystonic scales, textural changes in sensation mountains to plains, sharp to smooth, a lullaby changed to tunnel throat screams and pig whistles the animal in man. It is the change in color that makes a painting, the twists in a movie, the surprise ending in a poem. It is in difference that we find unity and in music or people the strength lies in the differences and together they bring resolution. A lovely write my friend

This is an abstract view of Time which really is an abstract notion.I mean Past and Future are not real in any sense. Ordinary acts seem to go backwards.For me this is a view of Time as a pathway, a door, not as a real state.This really made me think.
