THE FACELESS POETS
The faceless names through years unfettered by muses
A cryptic place with un-fame and elegy supplied
Where many a poet's pen has crawled, confused
For the ink, like the poets blood, has become sun-dried
Frozen cryptically, like the faceless poets throughout time
Voices unnoticed, but remembered, do retain
A friendly countenance, a joyous exuberance ever-evolving
And when discussed by the few, faceless poets readily remain
A song in their hearts 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 linger
And the ever growing virtues of the faceless poets strive
Through legends, and backwater storytellers of rhyme....
Tony Taylor

My Dear Tony,
They have brought their music, to our earsΒ
"The Faceless Poets", for thousands of years
Their odes of life and death are known
Many of them etched in stone
Love,
Tony
Hi Tony, no bullshit. This my favourite poem of yours. I've NEVER been able to personally relate to a poem so much before. For I am a faceless poet who prefers to keep his true identity hidden.Β
Awesome! I might as well of quoted the whole poem. It reminds me of the many comments shared and the way confused and unorthodox minds (speaking of myself here mostly) just let rip and let the untamed emotions out of their head and onto the page.Β
Hope you're keeping. Never give up being awesome ha ha! It's crazy how some poems can fit the locks of your mind.

SYD!!...that is astonishing!!....No one has ever said to me ~ "This is my favorite poem of yours" , which I find quite strange given that I have published over 1400 poems on Cosmo.Β Any way I feel honored just knowing that you have found, in one my writes, one thatΒ ~! "can fit the locks of your mind."......that is SO friggin' flattering!!.....Thank you so much for giving that to me....I won't forget it ~ EVER!!......VERY much appreciated kind sir!!.......stay groovy brother!!....Peace n stuff!!......T xo ?β΄β€
It's the honest truth Tony.
