My Beloved Brother-(A Dirge) Comments

Between life and death without complex vision, Putting life against death, Taking life as hard food to digest...+

Death was to you like an evanescent point, Rivers fall into the vast expanse.

I am with you with all my heart and being, Pain is the bridge between two worlds of different dosage..///

I was sorrowful and distressed, Not for the choice you made, Thinking the mystic way about life and death, The heavy load of pain was unbearable, I was not a patron saint of life and its edge, I was sad for pain that sealed my heart for mystic Straits

Years ago you realised the truth, The verity of the utter inefficacy of the knowledge, Of life and its Orotund Journey, Taking death as an immediate choice, Death was to you like an evanescent point, Rivers fall into the vast expanse

Years ago you realised the truth, The truth of futility, Utter futility of life, Between life and death without complex vision, Putting life against death, Taking life as hard food to digest.

This is indeed a very touching write! I can sense the intensity of your pain over the untimely and unexpected departure of your beloved brother. The pain of his absence will linger long! I am the alpha and you are my omega, You and me the full circle of life, Only Lethe river between both of Us, ................ Love these lines! Siblings make a full circle. Without one, the other will feel like a broken arc! May time heal your pain....! Full marks!

This is indeed a very touching write, a lament rising from the inner depth of the poet's heart over the untimely and unexpected departure of his dear brother! I am the alpha and you are my omega, You and me the full circle of life, Only Lethe river between both of Us, ............ Love these lines! Siblings make a full circle. Without one, the other will feel like a broken arc...! Moving poetry! Full marks!

I could not tell anything, because I know the pain, since I lost my loving sister.

A very passionate expression of grief. Heart wrenching. Beautiful and stirring lines that brought tears to my eyes. The untimely demise of a beloved brother always bring extreme sadness to the whole family. My heart goes to you and may this beautiful poem will, in one way or another, lighten the grief you have in your heart. Beautifully crafted and well executed write.

(2) The poet creates with perfect feel the atmosphere in which his brother retreats in the background with the poet left grieving and mourning his death quietly and musing about the philosophical cris-cross of life and death. Thanks for sharing. If it was necessary to post a photo along with the poem, it should have been the poet's brother's as a mark of love and respect for him which the poem (A Dirge) is all about. Thanks.

(1) ....you realised the truth.... of futility of life, Life with all its attachments was nothing to you. Taking death as an immediate choice.... //..... A poem of exceptional beauty. Though, poignant to the core from the very first line, it takes the reader along in the pangs with empathy.

The questions you left behind Whispering like oak and pine, I will be with you in no time.

An amazing and touching Allegory, Prabir..10++

Yes, life is a pompous journey and death a supreme reality, well said.

Death is always very difficult to accept, though it is inevitable. I can understand your pain, dear poet. Anjandev Roy.
