no promise of regret

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
Be kind….
…. words don’t rewind

As long as there are no longer
tears of sorrow and regret

May the kindest gestures
of filial affection ever beget;

our friendship has been
blest from shore to shore,

each wondrous exchange
our devotions now restore

    ('filial'
    what an archaic word
    in modernity's, me and I: reality!
    just watch the film, Tokyo Story 1953
    then realise how many decades
    its been, since
    its depicted filial disintegration
    and that things have only
    been exponentially degrading...)
    sorry about my tangent, really
    a good read you shared, dear poet
    especially
    like the wording of your title

      Many factors such as line lengths and rhythm influence diction; plus archaic should never mean the death of certain words- some of them are very useful still. Thanks for your much appreciated remarks. 🙂
