JOE STAY WITH NEO

You plan to leave
a heavy heart within me
can you not leave your poetry
not 'Unpublished'
for many to see

I and many more
will read as tears flow
from the bottom of my heart
sad to know
there is left no more glow
but you know
I know
the time has not yet come so

we will continue to read you
even if the laps top keys
don't tap along
with your knuckles nor knees
we will continue to read your
inimitable poetry....

Remember once you appraised me
never to Unpublish, any
so keep your promise

These words, yours alone are divine
coming from a gold mine
like Joe's yours
own manure mind

Some day someone will say
Joe is still here
with Neopoet
If none
at least you will know
Loved will behold !

All the best
May you regain strength
and I assure you,
you will answer me
once more with glee
leaving an indelible set of poetry
as a gift of poetic immortality
with me
I will publish it anonymously
if Joe
you grant this permission
to me
finally
Loved
Sir your pupil

TO SIR WITH LOVE

the writing in this was steady
and well versed
never wavering
a poem to be read
and considered
as I have
as always Lovedly the passion
for the poets is here
with your own flair
and honest
emotion

thank U!

I read all urs
though many times it poetry flies above
my dwarfed bald brains
but the fact remains
a poet must speak from ones heart
and then be true to oneself

as we all are human
you speak your mind as often

Joe is a great poet
we will miss him

he said..'' by the time this letter reaches I will be upstairs...''
I caught the first train
48 hours journey
and when I stood in front of him
he stood up in his bed

Later lived for 4 plus years
married two of us
ere he finally died erect

So miracles happen
but for that occurrence
there lies an unknown power
beyond the human intellect
he had a duty to perform perhaps
O yes.....

There are worse things than death. I never would have thought I would reach this point--and alone.
