With your beautifully loving sentiments you have brought the dead poet alive. You delineated the sad undertone exquisitely, princess xoxoxo

Sinome

This is very special for me my lovin' friend, I really connected with:

"They buried him in a tomb without a name
with many others that  were also dead
not knowing he would always be alive
in the minds that he'd fed...."

When I was living alone for over 7 years I used to pray for death after my wife died, and all that kept me going were the bloggers like yourself that fed my mind. How beautiful your work is luv.

This sounds like an ode to an unknown, unsung and neglected poet. The theme is very close to my heart and I found it very touching. There are many poets who have not achieved fame but have written immortal lines. I have discovered quite a few among Urdu poets and try to project them whenever it is possible.

What a beautiful poem. When the stars come out tonight, I'll look for the poet and send him a silent salute. All the best for the coming days, my dear. I hope it goes well and I'll see you when you are ok.

An amazing story my dear Sinome and certainly food for thought;
nobody knows what goes in behind closed doors which is why we shouldn't be quick to judge anyone; very well written my friend - I was totally ensnared in this tale! Many blessings and thanks

There is so much more behind people than what we see outside.

Sinome
The same question Metalrat asked came to mind – but regardless if the man is real or a product of your poetic license, you most certainly brought him to life.

Beautiful poem as always...
...but, is this person real or allegorical?
