The poet (is dead)

Though your poems are not written 
And the gory ink dried before our own shaken eyes 
You lived in simile and melancholy
Metaphors of agony 

You seared your parting lines 
With graceful grandeur 
Like a revered poet 
Holding firm the flaming pen that wrote your life 

Murmurs still linger 
Of the unknown poem 
You left behind for us 
To decipher 

To find meaning 
Of the light that shone so bright 
For us, it blinded itself 
And walked itself to oblivion 

We still stare in awe 
Wondering if these lines continue 
For the poem was yet to be written 
Now the poet is dead 

His ink-less veins shattered 
Like a harrowing nightmare 
Blazed out of reality 
The poet is dead
