Good Dead Poets

Good poets only compose,
To read their creative work,
When they are on their deathbed, alone
When there is none to moan,

No sounds of music
No sensations,
Dead feelings
And
The distant drums beating are heard,
Just to keep one alive,
Then upon the soil of ego
Man does survive
Just to die
He has a feeling
Of still being alive

I see you have delved deeply with this piece. Your title got my attention and the structure and content held.

No sounds of music
No sensations,
Dead feelings

When I am on my death I want to hear music. If it comes soon it will be the musical creations of Dylan and Tom Petty. If later we shall see.

I really like these lines:

The distant drums beating are heard,
Just to keep one alive,
Then upon the soil of ego
Man does survive
Just to die
He has a feeling
Of still being alive

An Excellent piece on taking our words to nowhere lol.
Though I must say once they are thought they are eternal, but write them down just in case, Sadie says you will love the Library that is there......

and
thanks for smaller mercies
Upon the will of kind folks
I do survive
As a bee does around the beehive
Most flicker around a candle flame
And burn them to earn a name.
So be it with me,
I burn the midnight oil with glee
And
Hopefully my works shall
Some day immortal be
So dear friends bow to thee
