Notes About The Poem

This piece was written as a response to the beautiful words of the poem "Ink Bleeds Only for You" by Silent One. The moment I read his poem, I imagined how I would feel if the man I love and cherish had written such words for me. Thank you, Silent One for the inspiration to turn your amazing talent into an even more amazing fantasy! 

What Becomes of Me- a Tribute To Silent One

The day your pen becomes your past
laid to rest and held its last
shall mark the day my heart is sure
of Silent ache to then endure

The memory of every stroke
echoed in the lines you wrote
engraved remains our history 
our life, our love, our legacy

What, you ask, becomes of me?
Of all the love that came to be?
Every word you ever wrote
kept still within my heart of hope

Hope for all the world to know
the depth of love your pen would show
Poetic words you left behind
to guide the hearts of all mankind

                               -Jeannie Minor

Written in response to the beautifully poetic 
words of "Ink Bleeds Only For You" by Silent One

When Silent One speaks, everyone listens because he does it so eloquently, as your poem reflects beautifully.
