The Faceless Poets

The Faceless Poets

The faceless names through years unfettered by muses
A cryptic place with un-fame and elegy supplied
Where many a poets pen has crawled confused
For the ink, like the poet's blood, has become sun dried
Frozen cryptically, like the faceless poets throughout time
-----------------------------------------------------------
Voices unnoticed, but when remembered do retain
A friendly countenance, a joyous exuberance, ever-evolving
And when discussed by the few, the faceless poets readily remain
A song in the heart, repeated in the morning shower dissolving
Like the 'tomb of the unknown soldier' , faceless poets calling
------------------------------------------------------------
In some crowded parasol driven crowding madness
A sea of youth explodes through minefields of gladness
Where the pheromones from faceless poets align
And the ever growing virtues of the faceless poets strive
Through legends, and backwater storytellers in rhyme

Tony Taylor

Hi Tony, this has got to be my one of my favourite poems from you. I can see so much of myself in these lines

A cryptic place with un-fame and elegy supplied
Where many a poets pen has crawled confused

 

This makes me think of the new members who constantly arrive at Cosmofunnel, like myself almost a year ago now.

In some crowded parasol driven crowding madness
A sea of youth explodes through minefields of gladness
Where the pheromones from faceless poets align

 

Great write. 
Take care - Syd

Too many outstanding lines in this one to highlight just a few, Tony.
A wonderfully well written ode to those unknown, faceless poets everywhere.
Bravo, my fiend...e-r-r-r-r, heh-heh...I meant friend. (Sorry!)

An unexhaustable read, never aging.
To be read aloud, leaving the words to hang in the air.
No part superfluous, a magnificent poem
A pleasure as always. A write to aspire to,

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

Many poets throughout history
Remain "Faceless", not of fame they be
Although their words echo in our Souls
Few know their names, for them extoll

.
But now with modern technology
Their works are shown for millions see
The pheromones, our minds now sate
Those that were "Faceless", now are great

Love you Bro,
Larry xxx

Thanx LARRY!!......I had a long conversation about this very thing earlier today.....I don't think I can agree with the entirety of this comment.....I think that many quality poets are still buried deep on little sites like this one.......... But I DO appreciate the thought my friend!!....ttyl........smiles.......T xo

Hi Tony,

I agree.  Maybe I should have written that some "Faceless" poets, have a chance nowadays, to be discovered.

Love you bro,
