The king of grunge
He left behind
Millions of fans
In a terrible bind
Hurt to everyone who loved
What is now an awful waste
The gun that sent away forever
The man with the soul you could taste
In our minds we hear his voice
A heartaching soul drenching tune
To everyone he shone like the sun
But he felt more like the moon
Desolate, empty and full of holes
One of which silenced all sound
He voiced our thoughts but left with us
Our own souls to be found
He had it all.........or did he?
The happiness all a fake
To the grave went with him
My heart that he did take
No one will ever replace
The memory always remains
I feel just like the weather
The wind, the cold, the rain
"It's better to burn out than to fade away"
Is that all a crack of shit
If he couldn't live in peace
Than my god let him rest in it
You can still let in his light
With the always opened door
Kurt Cobain remembered

Author notes
Endless Nameless is a tribute poem to the late great Kurt Cobain of the band Nirvana. I wrote this when I was fourteen years old which was quite along time ago though the words still ring true to me. Be gentle as I said this was written almost ten years ago.
Written November 28th, 1994

yay!
this is awesome.
kurt cobain is the only person that I would ever trade places with..... and this has not much to do with the poem, but endless nameless is an awesome song.
this really did make me cry........granted, I was four when he died, but even so when I did actually hear them for the first time, they totally changed my life, and kurt cobain, as a person, has had such an impact on my life. just the fact that he was who he was, and no matter how negatively he is remembered for shallow, stupid shit like his drug addictions, he will always live in so many people's hearts for more than one reason.....but I'm just babbling. this was awesome, I really did like it......good job.
rock on and all that good shit-

Awwww...that brought tears to my eyes. Kurt is by far the most influential person ever (at least for me). That's so increadible that the same words from 10 years ago still have the same meaning and the same amount of intsensity. Hopefully, he will be remembered by the next generation, and people will be able to do the same. As IHateMyself said, we're trying to do a poem about Kurt also. Anyway...wonderful, wonderful job!
PS. If I'm not mistaken, i saw the NIN quote on the author page, and I absolutely am in love with Trent! (Of course no one comes near kurt). Very very nice taste in music!! -
WOW
**teary** this was beautiful. from a 14-year old at the time, this is very moving. i feel exactly the same way...kurt was, is and always will be my idol, for the person he was, for his music and his beliefs. he was everything i could ever want to be and everything that i respect in a person: honest, beautiful, smart, disregarding of physical image, and he really inspires me so much. he was the one who inspired me to write. not just write write. WRITE. write poems and such that actually were meaningful to me. and in doing so, he helped me find a release of all the fucking frustration and hate and anger and grief and depression and all that shit. he's one of the greatest people ever to live, and there will NEVER be another person like him or even 10% like him because he was extremely unique. one of the kinds of people who were rare and we aren't going to see another one like him again. he's just an amazing person, all the depth packed into one man and the balls he had to place himself in a position where he could speak out AND be heard and affect people, even now when he's long long gone, he's still changing people and for the better. i have written so many journal entries about him, lol, and even this comment can't even begin to describe how much i feel he's changed, affected and inspired me. the guts to scream 'RAPE ME!' over and over, he was fucking incredible. and i've explored all of the theories of his departure, mostly the murder theory with courtney, and although i don't necessarily believe it (even if there's a shitload of evidence against her) the thought of someone killing kurt, it hurts me because i don't understand why anyone would want to hurt such a great guy. i respect and admire him for all the great things he's done and for saying whatever the fuck he wanted and not sugarcoating it, he was one of the greatest people on earth.
aaahh, makes me teary when i think of him so i'll stop now, lol. this was a great tribute poem. i'm still struggling to find the accurate worthy words to make a tribute poem for him but me, sweetnirvana99, switch, phreak and imthatfreak are actually working on a tribute poem together with kurt quotes. it's not really going anywhere yet lol, dammit, but it'll be finished someday... -
Woah outstanding. nice I've never read a poem like this.
thanks for the comment. -
A nice poem for a great artist.

It's a very beautiful tribute, you used metaphor's wonderfully, I'm rather partial to them. Despite the somber undertone to your piece, it really is well done....Thanks for your comment,

Such a waste of so much talent...you say it very well..
Glad my poem put a "flush" of a smile on your face!
-
Yes power is here...Yes indeed...
And thought is also here I see...
Its like an timeless shining seed...
Its groving here...so deep in me...
