One for the romantic, One for the human.

To the dead!

He knew it all along

Carried that wondrous secret smug and sly

Planned it all thorough

Bundled up his satchel

Prepared for the night

And he dove into the otherworld

Once and for all

Into the misty haze of hopes and fears

Where he quenches his longings and lusts

Playing fantasia’s his minstrels of love

Safely ensconced detached from human form

His wizened soul drifting free

And I sit here bedimmed

In a wretched world of human ghouls

Marveling his quixotic escape

Wishing for a deathly analogue

One for the romantic

One for the human.

Priyanka, this is beautiful. "One for the romanitc/One for the human". I think this is one of our two poems to a certain Lazarus we know. What a beautiful vision of death and passing. This is always an interesting road to take in writing, the dead road. The only road signs are written in a language of love and loss, and the only echo is of sadness and the rebirth of our personal souls trying to understand death from the other side, a side we can only base our visions upon how much our sorrow brings us and how much love we had for the departed.

Thank you for this :) Utterly beautifully written.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Stellar. This is a good combination of two rather polar ideas, the romantic and the human since human life is anything but romantic.
