"Numquam finitur, donec vita finiatur."
- K. D'Angelo Alexander


The man who loves most is the loneliest of all

From what can a broken-heart leap, yet never fall?

What can one give, and get nothing from?

A dead man knows; 

The genius is dumb

As a pauper’s nose can sniff out a crumb,

The first man knows that his time is done

My questions are simple: 

How did the second man die?

Who is the first, and who am I?

You may know the answers;

The chance is not high

But one thing’s for certain:

You’ll never know why


The author's comments:

The Final Sonnet, my "magnum opus" in a sense.

A riddle in the form of a poem.

One must answer the questions, to understand the meaning.
