To A Fallen Star Poem by Khairul Ahsan
To A Fallen Star
The strumming of your guitar
Still resonates in my ears
But the fingers that plucked the strings
Are now stiff, numb and hard.
The voice that sang
The songs of love, of pain and hope
Is now muted forever. You never knew
How much the people loved you.
Only after your passing away
Has the nation come to know
You lived in the people's heart
A place you earned through your songs.
Rest in peace, dear songster!
You concealed your sufferings and pains
Under the veil of songs and music..
May your next abode be, trouble-free, I pray!

it is unfortunate that a person's death, a beloved-by-many-person, would be the inspiration for your latest of now infrequently-submitted poems on PH. well, i guess his popularity has little bearing on my use of 'unfortunate'. you have on PH many poems to your credit, and you may safely 'rest on your laurels'. i 'should read' more of yours, but alas, eating five gallons of ice cream takes me almost all day, ...every day! ! bri ;) to MyPoemList.
Death! ! Passing away. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A maestro of music is generally a much celebrated and loved person. The mesmerizing power of music is so powerful that when such a person suddenly departs, his absence will be sorely felt! A beautiful tribute to a great songster.
