In Search Of A Poet Poem by Khairul Ahsan

In Search Of A Poet

Rating: 5.0


I sadly announce the disappearance of a poet
From the pages of 'Poemhunter'.
A forum that provides the poets of all corners
A happy and peaceful shelter.

Like the Malyasian Airlines MH 370 missing flight,
She disappeared, being well on course, despite.
She loved to call herself as Beauteous Victory,
This name now seems to be a part of the history.

Her poems truly did justice to her name.
She was indeed beauteous,
She was indeed victorious.
Her honest expressions quickly earned her fame.

She soared like an eagle and sang like a nightingale,
She braved turbulence, wasn't baffled by the gale.
She wanted love, she got it, and also lost it prematurely,
Cried like a baby whenever she thought of it compassionately.

Alas! The Poemhunter's radar cannot now spot her place,
If clicked, the search button says, 'Poet Not Found'.
I wonder for which land is this soaring bird now bound,
Wherever, I only wish she enjoys her flight and be safe.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Poet Beauteous Victory was a prolific writer on the pages of 'Poemhunter'. I found most of her poems very touchy, emanating from a sensitive heart. Her flow of emotions ran naturally, her choice of words almost perfect. Of late, she is no more traceable by Poemhunter's radar. Some of her last poems spoke of wounded feelings from rejected love, and her taking recourse to drunkenness to forget the pangs of sufferings she was going through. I pray to God that may He keep her in His Mercy and help her restore her normal life again.

What a beautiful tribute Khairul! An ounce of hope maybe...I've had several tell me that when they have searched for me since I've been here they get that same message. So hopefully she is still here.
