Dear Poets,
Peace be to you all!
Just returned home after
Dropping my daughter at work.
As I sit here with my laptop, am wondering,
What a deep bond I have developed with you!
So many of you
Have moved me by your
Heart touching poems, and
Your messages, that left me pensive
After I had read them. Helped me discover
The meanings of life, that were hitherto unknown to me.
Thank you, dear poets,
For sharing your wisdom, your love,
Your understanding, your compassion,
Your language, your culture, your beliefs,
Your pristine feelings collected from the depth
Of your hearts. I've been enormously enriched by you all.
Here I've read many poems,
That were written 7/8 years ago,
Or even earlier. I wonder if all the poets
Whose works here I've loved so passionately,
Are still alive. Some of them may not be, though
It's just a guess. Their works will remain ever alive, I surmise.
Will someone still read my poems,
Or re-read some old ones, when I'll be
No more here to add a fresh one regularly?
For how long will my poems, the mute speeches
Of my sensitive heart, remain here? Will one find in my
Poems, something to relate to one's own life and experience? I wonder!
Very well said Khairul - this is my first encounter with you, so I hope You will read me too. Love the way your poem looks on the page, quite intriguing.
'Love the way your poem looks on the page, quite intriguing.' - Thank you, Valerie Dohren. Much appreciate your reading my poem and commenting, which certainly I shall reciprocate. I was saddened as I read your sad poem 'Untitled'. The title too says a lot.
What a delightful heartwarming poem! The thoughts you expressed are surely felt by all of us. What I enjoy most about your poems is that you're always so open with your feelings, you never hide them. With each reading, your poems always seem to convey just a bit of your personality which in turn, produces a closeness in this brotherhood of poets,
That my poem has received so much of your attention, as is understood from your comment, is in itself a great satisfaction for me, @Beach Girl. Reading your kind words of appreciation, I leave my comment here, much more inspired to write better poetry. You haven't posted a new poem for a long, long time. Looking forward to reading some more poems from You. I think, I have completed reading all your poems here and commenting on them.
What a beautiful way of expressing your feelings and appreciating the fellowship with other poets. Through poetry we unite with each other. It is a pleasure to create a bond with you through your poetry. Thank you so much for sharing this lovely poem.
'It is a pleasure to create a bond with you through your poetry' - I feel so honored ma'm. Thank you! Much inspired by your comment. Just now, I've read your poem 'Random Thoughts-52' and left a comment there.
Will someone still read my poems Or re- read some old ones.....Your poems are always enchanting, and if those poems are not re-read by people, I don't know whose Poems will be read by us? I am eagerly waiting for your new poems...
Thank you, Mallika Achuthan Menon, for so sweetly appreciating the poem. I am highly elated. :)

I would like to translate this poem
Poems are eternal, poets may die but their poems live- poems create bondage that though we may not know each other that much there is something that we share which is unexplainable
You have explained that 'unexplailable', Naida. Poetry creates a bond among the poets that sometimes is much stronger than usually expected, that becomes like a family bond. Thank you for your inspiring and thought provoking comment, @Naida Nepascua Supnet.
