beautiful regret

arqios


Notice of absence from arqios
🕊 🙏🏻 see you all in June! 🙏🏻🕊️

 

beautiful regret:

Love does not erase bruises,
nor does it fix what words cannot mend.
But it stands- in the quiet, in the waiting—

in the spaces where breath is safe

where memory softens,
and time learns to forgive:
beautiful regret.

    This poem aches with quiet wisdom—
    love’s presence lingers, not to heal, but to hold
    the tender weight of what cannot be undone.

                    A wonderful description of one of the aspects of love. Your colorful phrasings, " where breath is safe, time learns to forgive," are particularly poignant. Your poem is a gentle and soft way of expressing loves power. Loved it. - Phil A.

                      I once came across the idea that the past can be changed. It's one of the most challenging ideas I've ever heard.

                        It also appears to be a recurring them in filmmaking that cycles every generation of expression. Interesting note there MR. Thanks. 🙏🏻🕊️

                              I especially liked "in the spaces where breath is safe". Great write.

                                    such a tender and beautiful message - love does forgive and overlook a lot , especially in the first bloom of love - later it learns to forgive too..

                                    • arqios

                                      Love the interplay of overlook and forgive; much like turning a blind eye and making up. 🙏🏻🕊️

                                      • NafisaSB

                                        exactly..
                                        have a beautiful day - take care..

                                          You too🙏🏻🕊️

                                          Forsooth. Yet doesn't love begin the healing process? Love can never erase, but like you've said so excellently, be there in the empty spaces like a balm, right? Beautifully written and most exquisite read aloud, deeply poignant with excellent imagery. Thank you for sharing.

                                          • arqios

                                            A true pleasure 🙏🏻🕊️
