I'm doing this freely because every thought makes cry, trying to rap my head around why!
5 years ago I joined this site, soon I read a man words that filled me with delight
Later he told me he's condition of health, just wanting to unload all of his hell
He ment so much to me, a light of words when my were lost at sea
I've just read he's last post and comment he made on my work
I've listened to our voice messages from December, saying we should meet up
Now I've learned that will stay in my heart, as he's spirit is a drift
Until we meet on the other side my friend, I'll never drop my pen
You are truly missed already!

- Comment from author about the poem: Me & Kevin became friends on Facebook sadly only a few months ago, I just found out a couple of hours ago that he has passed way. I can honestly say this has come as a massive shock and I wanted to share this with one that got to know him like I did over the years on here...i will fight this knot in my throat and snot in my nose to write another post tomorrow incase many don't see. If you do please pass it on, he was a poetic legend! May he rest in peace and through he's words we all find ours x

Loss is a difficult and big pill to swallow - my condolences xx
Been happening from a teen but sadly I didn't really know this gentleman but as a poet on here!
Makes you think, each post you read could be someone's last!
Thanks for seeing and giving your time
Much peace and respect
Always appreciated
Wow!
Thank you, he's still thought of daily!
Of course! I remember one of our poet that was sick. His name is Augustus. I have not heard from him for a long time.

Dan, much gratitude for you pointing us to Kevin Browne's poetry. Knowing he was ill gives urgency to his already powerful work. This final stanza of his January 14 "Diary Entry Number ..." is haunting:
This is my tear and this is what it cries
Around the block, around another bend
Another loss, another pain that never dies
A broken man, a broken heart he'd lend.
